Royal College of Pharmacy in Wales
We support, promote and lead the pharmacy profession across all sectors of pharmacy in Wales.
The Royal College of Pharmacy is a GB-wide organisation, but there are significant differences in policy and pharmacy practice in Wales, Scotland and England. That’s why Wales has its own National Pharmacy Advisory Council and RCPharm Wales team: to ensure we represent, support and speak up on behalf of all our members and the wider profession in Wales.
