Pharmacists whose substantive practice is in the hospital practice sector

There are two places on the Scottish Pharmacy Board for pharmacists whose substantive practice is in the hospital practice sector and one candidate, Sandra Elizabeth Melville, stood for election. Therefore, under the Election Scheme, there was no need to proceed to the second stage of the election process – the ballot. Accordingly, the Returning Officer, Lyndon Braddick, declared that Sandra Elizabeth Melville has been duly elected to the Scottish Pharmacy Board and will take office from 00.01 1 February 2010. The Board will co-opt another pharmacist whose substantive practice is in the hospital practice sector. 

Pharmacists whose substantive practice is in the community practice sector

There are five places on the Scottish Pharmacy Board for pharmacists whose substantive practice is in the community practice sector, at least one of which shall be filled by a locum pharmacist and at least one of which shall be filled by an employee pharmacist.

Accordingly, the Returning Officer, Lyndon Braddick, declared that Ewan William Black, William Gilmour Templeton, Evelyn Ann MacKenzie and Charles Tait have been duly elected to the Scottish Pharmacy Board and will take office from 00.01 1 February 2010. The Board will co-opt a community locum pharmacist to fill the remaining position available for the community practice sector.

Anne Boyter
John Cromarty
Alistair Jack
Alpana Mair
David Thomson
Sandra Elizabeth Melville
Ewan Black
William Templeton
Evelyn MacKenzie

The Board will co-opt a further pharmacist whose substantive practice is in the hospital practice sector and a community locum pharmacist to fill the remaining position available for the community practice sector.
