Pharm@Sea Chair, Community Pharmacist

[Steve Churton @stevechurton]

We are on our way!

I want to say a huge “thank you” to all those who have shared the vision and kept the faith in supporting this historic decision.

As far back as 2010 I made a commitment to the profession that the then embryonic RPS would in time mature to form the basis of a royal college for our profession.

Much has happened since then, and I am overjoyed that we are now back on track and ready to begin this momentous journey together.

A journey which will require us all to step forward and embrace the moment and the opportunity before us. The dawn of a new era of collaboration across the profession. The time to look ahead with renewed enthusiasm and hope for our future and that of our patients.

The changes will be evolutionary. They will not happen overnight. The direction of travel is clear. The ride may occasionally be turbulent, and we will need to navigate with unity of purpose to reach our destination.

I know it will be an enduring testament to those at the RPS who took the bold decision to propose the establishment of a royal college, and the trust that members have placed in them and the great leaders across the pharmacy community to make this a truly defining moment and to co-create the professional destiny we all wish for.

Now let’s make it happen!

[Steve Churton @stevechurton]

Sometimes in life you find a passion, a cause, that you feel so strongly about you cannot keep it to yourself.

You dream it, you feel it, you see it, you live it.

And if you are lucky enough, you find your passion is shared by others.

The Royal College of Pharmacy.

Voting opens on 13th March.

[Steve Churton @stevechurton]

It was my privilege to lead the establishment of the @rpharms

It has been my privilege to advocate successfully for a Royal College of Pharmacy.

But this is not about me.

It is about you. Your profession. Your patients.

Now it’s your time to make something special happen.

The NAPC has led the development of integrated working, population health improvement and neighbourhood care for over two decades. We established the framework for more personalised pro-active care and support to be provided locally that is tailored towards people’s needs.

[Ash Soni OBE @ashsoni0607]

We are all part of a team with our own skills and expertise that by coming together are greater as a whole than the individual parts. We recognise our responsibilities to work together in the interests of the public and patients who seek our help and support

[Jack Kennedy @jackgkennedy]

This is a really painful listen and doesn’t represent views held by the wider profession.

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but we MUST, with humility, respect the training, acumen and breadth of knowledge of doctors.

We are an addition, not an ‘instead of’- and we undermine them with conversations like this at our peril.

The pharmaceutical supply chain is crucial for universal #HealthCare. A FIP Seal awarded course by the @AfricanPharmaN trains pharmacists to manage health product supply chains in Africa. Enrol here: https://t.co/uahCnyfjTd.

“#Pharmacists are in a pivotal position to support tobacco cessation through patient counselling & tailored interventions, thereby reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases globally,” FIP VP @LarskeSderlund said yesterday at a @WHO webinar.

@stevechurton This is all about fear of change and protecting what they think they have rather than understanding what they don’t have and could do and be
