About us
We are the Royal College of Pharmacy, the professional membership body for pharmacists and pharmacy. Together, we are pharmacy.
Published: 31 March 2026
Our mission is to put pharmacy at the forefront of patient care.
Our vision is to become the world leader in the safe and effective use of medicines.
Since the Royal Pharmaceutical Society was founded in 1841, we have championed the profession, and are internationally renowned as publishers of medicines information.
We promote pharmacy in the media and government, lead the way in medicines information, and support pharmacists in their education and development.
