A good "scapegoat"

Crossing borders and breaking barriers: why we need to truly value global contributions to pharmacy and healthcare There was nothing dramatic about my decision to leave Pakistan in 2011 — no defining moment, no sudden epiphany. I had completed my PharmD degree at the University of Sargodha, which was introduced…

#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 didn’t say hello so I guess it doesn’t class as an interaction.

Thank you @nazshahbfd.bsky.social

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.

Does the End Justify the Means?

A Critical Look at the RPS Royal College Vote As the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) approaches a pivotal moment in its history, with members soon to vote on transforming into a royal college, a critical question emerges about the democratic process itself. While…

Not the 2/3 of eligible voters?

So it’s 2/3 of members eligible to vote required to the approve the change ?
