Professor Claire Anderson has been re-elected to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society English Pharmacy Board (EPB) for a further three year period.

Claire Anderson said " I’m delighted be re-elected to the EPB and will continue to work for all pharmacists. The NHS is undergoing unprecedented changes and all pharmacists are working under pressure with fewer resources. Pharmacy is on the lips of NHS England, the other Royal Colleges, and in the media more than ever before. We are finally getting the professional recognition we deserve. However, the EPB must continue to build on our successful leadership work, by further supporting pharmacists in delivering excellence in patient care. The next three years are crucial for pharmacy education and as a professor at a leading university which has been the first to pilot the 5 year MPharm, I am able to represent the views of and support academics, clinical academics and practising pharmacists. This will be while we change to a five year integrated MPharm moving away from the traditional pre-reg to professional learning placements. I also bring a broad international perspective to the board because of my work with the international Pharmaceutical Federation."
