THANK YOU and GOOD LUCK to all the candidates in the #RPSElections .

It takes courage to demonstrate your passion for changing the profession to make it better for everyone.

Whatever the outcome you should be proud to have stepped forward. The profession needs more like you.

Dr Mahendra G Patel OBE 🕉 Additionally I have worked with temples, mosques and Gurudwara's in raising the profile of Pharmacy and supporting the local communities to get access to healthcare

Dr Mahendra G Patel OBE 🕉 An appreciation of local communities and how best to engage with them to improve inequalities when I was working in Dudley I supported the local Yemeni to improve their understanding on antimicrobial stewardship and how to better use local Pharmacy services.

As former RPS national board and assembly member I’ve seen a few things over the years. I would want to vote for honesty, integrity and comradeship — hopefully throughout the term of office once elected.
After all, we’re all serving for the same purpose ! #RPSElection campaign

With establishment of the UKPPLAB now steering fresh direction for the pharmacy profession, how will RPS be supported to move forward in helping to improve health & health outcomes & address health inequalities through leadership—which is what lots of this is about?
#RPSElections

Well said !!!
#RPSElections

We are at an especially important time in the journey and shaping of our profession that needs meaningful substance; resolve; proven leadership — and an ability to influence !!!

It’s tough being a pharmacist on the front-line of healthcare, with complexity, demand and expectation increasing. If elected to the RPS English Pharmacy Board I will advocate for what you need to achieve excellence and ambition. Voting open now mi-vote.com/secure/rpharms
