Wow. @rpharms.com

Excellent. And great to see you are listening.

1. I've never been satisfied that my contingent cover was real!
2. For my practice the other options were eye watering or didn't cover me
3. It's a measurable benefit for being a RPS member.

"I will be voting YES to the RPS evolving into the Royal College of Pharmacy. This should have happened several years ago and the opportunity to make the generational change should not be missed. Pharmacy as a profession has changed so much in recent years and it is a natural progression for the professional body of pharmacy to become stronger with royal college status. This will give pharmacy the recognition and representation it deserves."
“Byddaf yn pleidleisio IE i'r RPS esblygu i fod yn goleg brenhinol. Dylai hyn fod wedi digwydd sawl blwyddyn yn ôl ac ni ddylid colli'r cyfle i wneud y newid sylweddol hyn. Mae fferylliaeth fel proffesiwn wedi newid cymaint yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf ac mae’n ddilyniant naturiol i gorff proffesiynol fferylliaeth gryfhau gyda statws coleg brenhinol. Bydd hyn yn rhoi’r gydnabyddiaeth a’r gynrychiolaeth haeddiannol i fferylliaeth.”

I’ve voted in support of the proposal to become a royal college. I believe it’s a necessary step and it needs to happen now, as a strong indication of direction as the bodies involved in future pharmacy leadership form their alliance.
