Looking forward to enjoying the company of fellow Fellows at the 18th RPS Annual Fellows’ Dinner tomorrow.

Always a special occasion, and even more so this year as we meet with the journey towards our Royal College of Pharmacy now firmly underway.

Exciting times.

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 co-create the professional destiny we all wish for. 6/6

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. 5/6

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. 2/6
