Hi there! As this is the first post for the academic year 2014/2015, we wish all freshers a warm welcome to our blog! And for returning students, welcome back! Do check our blog regularly as we will keep you posted about our experiences of the BPSA events this year.
The Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Local Practice Forum held its first event to welcome the new students. So what is the LPF? The LPF is a local network of Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) members, who come together at regular local meetings to:
- · promote and share best practice
- · demonstrate local leadership
- · help influence country boards
- · provide local peer-to-peer support
In other words, a great
place to meet and interact with other pharmacy students and pharmacist from your local region (i.e. Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire)!
There was an LPF session
held in March. Have a look at the blog post about it here. http://bpsa-experience.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/rps-local-practice-forum-getting.html
The 1st year welcome event
was lead by our very own lecturers, Mr. Gautam Paul and Mr. Tom Gray, as well
as Lauren Rose, a qualified pharmacist who is also an alumnus of our university
(and ex-vice president of BPSA)! You really get a lot of good speakers coming
to the LPF, so don't miss out on future events!
Getting ready for the session
One of the things emphasized in this session, apart from introducing the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) and its various support avenues, is that as students, you are also a member of the BPSA, and the RPS, hence you gain all the support and resources from the RPS FOR FREE! No membership fees, free access to the MEP, Pharmaceutical Journal, RPS resources and of course, being part of the LPF!
So make full use of these support while you are a student! After all, RPS is YOUR Professional Body!
Have a look at this video in the link http://www.rpharms.com/what-s-happening-/news_show.asp?id=1304 and be proud of what RPS, and the profession of pharmacy has achieved over the years!
Peace out!
