Abstract
AT the British Pharmaceutical Conference held in London on July 11, the chairman, Mr. H. Brindle, gave an address on the "Education of the Pharmacist". He reviewed the present system of pharmaceutical education and commented on the possible effects upon it of the Norwood Report and the Education Bill. The present qualifications in pharmacy include two diplomas granted by the Pharmaceutical Society: that of the chemist and druggist, and that of the pharmaceutical chemist. In addition, several universities have established degrees in pharmacy. All the diplomas and degrees are registerable qualifications for practice. The chemist and druggist diploma is mainly utilized as the qualification for retail practice, but Mr. Brindle hopes that the higher diploma and the degrees will be in greater demand. Retail pharmacy needs its share of the best brains and the most highly trained pharmacists. It offers opportunities certainly comparable in all respects with those of the other branches of the profession, such as hospital, manufacturing and research.
