There was nothing dramatic about my decision to leave Pakistan in 2011 β no defining moment, no sudden epiphany. I had completed my PharmD degree at the University of Sargodha, which was introducedβ¦
In a powerful account published by #ThePJ earlier today, #RafiaJamil shares her journey as an βoverseas pharmacistβ and how her experience of equality, diversity and inclusion within pharmacy has been complex but hopeful

#PharmSky I once saw @digitalpharmacist.bsky.social* walking past while I was having a cup of tea in deli/coffee shop in #Mirfield West Yorkshire.
Of course I didnβt say hello so I guess it doesnβt class as an interaction.

Today I raised serious concerns about whistleblowing at Bradford NHS Trust with the Health Secretary, including the landmark ruling in favour of Dr Max McLean, the former Chair. I look forward to discussing this further with the Health Minister soon.

But my overriding concern is that this change goes through on a 12% turnout.
That isn't the right footing for a Royal College to start on.

Thatβs actually really poor for such a monumental change.
The charter seems to suggest 2/3 of eligible voters.
If such a big change is enacted on the back of a 10% turnout that is not the will of the members.

That doesnβt seem great, if only a few hundred votes can change the Charter?
Not the 2/3 of eligible voters?

So itβs 2/3 of members eligible to vote required to the approve the change ?

And in reading the regulations, this appears to apply to "non-chater" special resolutions.
So as I said, not very clear, and hence an ask for clarification.
