Events and Meetings

Welsh Board engages with members in Wales

In a move designed to extend its engagement with members across Wales, the Welsh Pharmacy Board held three special meetings in November to brief members on current developments affecting pharmacy in Wales and invite participation in discussions.

The events were spread across South, North and West Wales at Carmarthen, Dyfed on 6 November; Denbighshire, North Wales on 8 November; and Cardiff on 13 November. The meetings replaced the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and lecture held in previous years, and attendance of the events doubled that of the usual AGM.
