Yearly Archives: 2016

The GPhC has today outlined how it intends to work with people and organisations from inside and outside pharmacy to examine and understand workplace pressures across the pharmacy sector, including through a seminar to be held in October.

Recent articles in the Guardian and pharmacy press, which reported the outcomes of a survey by the Pharmacists’ Defence Association, have highlighted workplace pressures experienced by pharmacy professionals working in different companies and settings. 

A survey of pharmacist prescribers has been published by the pharmacy regulator.

The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) invited all pharmacist prescribers to take part in the survey to build a rounded picture of prescribing practice, and has now published a report summarising the key findings.

Commenting on the report, Duncan Rudkin, Chief Executive of the GPhC, said:

Our next council meeting takes place on Thursday 10 March. You can find the agenda and the papers for the public sessions of the meeting here.  

We received some very useful feedback during our recent webinar on the draft professional standards. We’re very grateful to everyone who was able to take part.

You can watch and listen to a recorded version of the webinar here.

Our office will be closed all day on Friday 20 May. Our staff will be away for training purposes and we will not be answering phone calls.  

Our office and phones lines will open again on Monday 23 May at 9am.
