I spotted this online and thought it was the perfect and most succinct articulation of the benefits of a Royal College of Pharmacy.
My thanks to Samrina Bhatti
@SamrinaUK for agreeing for me to reproduce it here.
Here’s why I believe supporting this move is the right step forward:
✅ Greater Professional Recognition – A Royal College aligns us with other health professions, reinforcing pharmacy’s status as an integral part of the healthcare system.
✅ Stronger Clinical Leadership – It enables us to develop, credential, and advance pharmacy professionals at all career stages, ensuring high standards of care.
✅ A Unified, Influential Voice – Pharmacy needs a powerful advocate in shaping NHS policies and influencing decision-making at national levels.
✅ Enhanced Collaboration – Bringing together key pharmacy organisations (
@UKCPA,
@BOPACommittee, and others) creates a more cohesive and strategic profession, benefiting both pharmacists and the public.
Now is the time to engage, discuss, and take action. I encourage
@rpharms members to learn more, consider the benefits, and have your say in shaping the future of our profession.
Voting is open now.
