Pharmacies at risk of another Dr Shipman, warns expert
Director of Fitness to Practice and Legal Affairs in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB), Mandie Lavin, said Irish legislators had important lessons to learn from the Shipman Inquiry.
She pointed out that the RPSGB now ensured that British pharmacy owners were fit to own and manage a pharmacy, and could remove a pharmacist found to have acted in an unprofessional manner.
