RPS transition to Royal College: What it means for pharmacy – Professor Claire Anderson explains
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) is set to transition into a Royal College after securing majority support from its members in a recent ballot. However, concerns have been raised about the long-term implications of this shift.
With a voter turnout of 31.4%, 6,144 out of 19,594 eligible members participated in the vote on the Royal Charter changes. Of those, 71.1% supported the transition, well above the required two-thirds majority for a Special Resolution Vote.
