The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) is inviting pharmacists, pharmaceutical scientists, students and the wider pharmacy community to take part in a new series of online events this autumn to help shape the future strategy of the organisation, as it prepares to become a royal college.
The new strategy will be based on five commitments set out by RPS in the run up to the historic vote earlier this year, in which members voted in favour of becoming the Royal College of Pharmacy, alongside other changes, and will provide the roadmap for the first five years of the new Royal College.
The strategy development plans are designed to enable members and non-members to contribute and to ensure that that voices from across the profession can be heard as part of the strategy development.
Online event schedule
These events will complement engagement sessions at the Scottish and Welsh conferences in Glasgow on 22 August and in Cardiff on 25 September, and will culminate in a reveal of the key findings at the RPS Annual Conference on Nov 8th.
RPS members will also be able to share their views via an all-member survey due for the autumn.
Paul Bennett, Chief Executive of the RPS, said:
“As we look ahead to becoming a royal college, it’s vital that our strategy reflects the ambitions and insights of our members and the wider pharmacy community. These webinars are a key part of that journey and are an opportunity to shape our future strategy together.
“I encourage members and non-members to take part in this important conversation. Your voice will help ensure we build a strategy that sets the new Royal College on the right path to the influential future and strong voice pharmacy deserves.”
As part of RPS’ strategy engagement, members and non-members can also share their views on the commitments and their aspirations for the new Royal College via [email protected].
