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.

The first Annual Dinner of the Welsh Pharmacy Board took place on the evening of 11 October at the Park House Club in Cardiff. During the event the Society’s new professional guidance The Handling Medicines in Social Carewas launched in Wales. Some 50 guests from various social care and voluntary organisations along with senior policy advisors at the Welsh Assembly Government joined the Board.
As part of Healthy Living Week, Board member Richard Evans took part in a two-day event at the National Assembly for Wales, providing Assembly Members, staff and members of the public with the opportunity to experience some of the services offered by pharmacies across Wales. Richard measured the height, weight (BMI) and blood pressure of more than 70 visitors and offered them the opportunity to discuss healthy living issues.
The Welsh Directorate jointly facilitated a day for the Local Health Board pharmacists on Wednesday, 3 October. The aims of the day were to provide an opportunity to interact and engage with fellow board members and to educate and provide information on key developments since the last Board Pharmacist Day in 2006.
