Verbatim
“Aesthetic practice is an evolving area and pharmacists working in this space need to be able to demonstrate that they have the right skills, experience and competence to provide safe, high-quality care.”
“A clear and proportionate fitness-to-practise process is essential to maintaining patient safety and public confidence in pharmacy. What matters is that concerns are assessed appropriately, with those requiring further regulatory action identified and those outside the GPhC's remit directed to the appropriate route.”
“Pharmacists have a vital role to play in tackling both AMR and the health inequalities that can increase people's risk of infection and poorer health.”
