Why is the Society doing the Governments work?
If we do not produce our own proposals for change, reform will be imposed by the Government. The Government has already implemented its own reforms for the regulatory bodies for nurses and midwives, and for the professions supplementary to medicine, now regulated by the Health Professions Council. Potentially, pharmacy could lose its independent self-regulation body and become one of 13 professions regulated by the Health Professions Council.
