Welsh Pharmacy Board
In 2011, we will be the voice that represents, promotes and leads the profession in Wales, improving both the day to day work of pharmacy practice and contributing to the role of pharmacy in the future. By working with the Welsh Government, we will look out for the interests of the pharmacy profession and of our members in Wales and this will be visible in the contributions we make.
I care passionately about our profession and have a vision of confident, competent pharmacists being involved in the pharmaceutical care of every patient, in every setting, and I will ensure that the Board works with the relevant bodies in politics, academia and practice to promote the profession and help make this happen.
It is through strong leadership and teamwork that we can meet the objectives we set out in our manifesto for pharmacy in Wales. Success will encourage more members to join and ensure the Royal Pharmaceutical Society is truly representative of the whole profession.
