The first partnership agreement between the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and Harper Adams University College has been signed to provide pharmacy graduates with specialist courses in veterinary pharmacy and to enable their continuing professional development.

The agreement will also provide opportunities for closer collaboration, the sharing of expertise and joint proposals for research and outreach activities.

Jeremy Holmes, RPSGB Chief Executive said: "This is an exciting opportunity to provide support for a special interest group within pharmacy. We are delighted to be working with Harper Adams University College to raise the profile of veterinary pharmacy through the provision of high-quality specialist courses.

"The Society as the new professional body will represent a wide variety of interests and give members the tools they need to pursue and extend their chosen career path. I hope this will be the first of many such agreements as we look to build partnerships across the sector."

Notes

The RPSGB veterinary pharmacy education programme has run for over 25 years but this is the first time it has been formally accredited by a Higher Education Institution. The courses will continue to be delivered by RPSGB. For further information on courses please visit http://www.vpep.net
