The Officer team of the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland was unanimously re-elected at the October Meeting of the Society’s Council for an additional one-year term as the Society’s continues its root and branch modernisation programme.

 

Speaking on his reelection as Society President Raymond Anderson commented:

 

“I am proud and delighted to have been reelected to continue as President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland for an additional year.  

 

The Society is going through a historic period of change, taking on increased regulatory roles to protect the public and is soon to forge a new professional forum to provide a voice for the pharmacist’s aspirations for the development of pharmacy.

 

It is a privilege to be steering through all these changes with my fellow officers. I hope in the year ahead we can continue the momentum we have now built towards completing our vision for the future of pharmacy registration, regulation and representation in Northern Ireland”.
