Dear new pharmacy-forum member
Hello and welcome to the forum. You are welcome to view posts and start new threads as you wish. If you want to add a link to your own website that's fine, just as long as you're not selling drugs/porn/etc on the internet, or advertising agencies or commercial sites. Sorry to sound negative, but we must make this clear. Any advertising of any commercial sites will get your account stopped and your IP address banned from the forum. Any sites that the staff of the pharmacy forum consider to be unsuitable will force us to remove you from the membership.
If you have any ideas or criticism don't hesitate to post or e-mail us. Every e-mail will be read and answered. You can receive and send private messages to other members as well as admin. If you like the forum, and find it useful please tell your pharmacy friends about it. The more members we have, the better it will become.
Pharmacist Only Section
We have an area of the forum for registered pharmacists. This is be a place to be used to express opinions and start discussions that you would not like the general public to see.
We have created a user group that we only allow access to registered pharmacists to. If you are interested in joining this group, to confirm you are a UK registered pharmacist we would need your RPSGB number, full name and address, and the town where the Society has you registered as living in. We can then check that you are registered as a UK pharmacist.
We have contacted the relevent people to check that this is acceptable to do, and have been assured that it is. If you are interested in joining this group, could you please reply to this e-mail with the required information. If you do not wish to join, then there is no need to reply to this e-mail.
The pharmacist only section is secure, and only the accepted members will ever be allowed to view the posts within it.
