This year’s Royal Pharmaceutical Society Council election is to
fill three unreserved places for elected pharmacists plus one place for
an elected pharmacist reserved to each of the national constituencies
of England (with the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands) and Scotland.
There is to be no election to fill this year’s vacancy for an elected
pharmacist to represent Wales or to fill a vacancy for an elected pharmacy
technician. In each case there was only one candidate, who has been declared
elected. (Brief
information on these successful candidates appears on
p418.)
All the candidates standing for election to represent the English and
Scottish national constituencies are also standing for election to unreserved
places. The Society’s regulations stipulate that if such a candidate
is elected to the national constituency, he or she must take that place.
The votes cast for that candidate in the election for unreserved seats
then become void.
Brief particulars of the candidates and their declarations of relevant
interests appear on this and the following page. A key
to the divisions within the particulars and declarations appears in a panel on p415.
In the headings for each entry, the letter or letters in parentheses
after the candidate’s name indicates whether the candidate is standing
for an unreserved place on the Council (u), for both an unreserved place
and the English national place (u,e) or for both an unreserved place
and the Scottish national place (u,s).
The candidates’ particulars and declarations of relevant interests
are also published along with the candidates’ election statements
in a booklet that has been posted to electors along with their voting
papers. Posting was due to take place on 4 April.
Voters must return their completed voting papers to Electoral Reform
Services not later than noon on Friday 9 May.
The elected Council members will take office as from 0.01am on 22 May
and will serve on the Council for three years.
The Council’s policy on the conduct of elections, “Council
elections procedures 2008”, was published in The Journal of
26 January (p89)
It also appears in the back of the election booklet
