Dear Pharmaplus member,
As you will be aware the NPA Board elections for 2018 are starting soon. The ballot papers will be dispatched by the NPA on the 12th of March 2018,
so keep a look out !
The close of ballot is 6th April 2018 @ 12 noon.
Two of PharmaPlus’ valued members, Dilip Joshi of Boss Pharmacy and Reena Barai of SG Barai Pharmacy are standing as candidates for NPA's Area 7 (region details are at the bottom of the email).
Both these members are excellent candidates, and if elected as NPA Board members, their hard work will benefit independent pharmacies immensely. Please carefully read their statements (with ballot papers).
We
urge all members to ensure that you do utilise your vote !
Don’t miss out on electing your representative who will address your needs and make your voice be heard at the NPA board.
Here is what the role of NPA Board member involves:
The NPA Board
sets the policy, strategic direction and objectives for the Association. Board members are expected to contribute to debate in sharing ideas and deliver fresh thinking throughout the period of their service. In addition to NPA Board meetings, Board members also participate in Standing Committees and/or Working Groups of the Board. Overall, the remit is to ensure that the NPA is advancing the interests of independent community pharmacy owners, to the benefit
ultimately of patients and communities.
NPA's Area 7 - This is the Home Counties South region which comprises of:
- Croydon & District
- Epsom
- Sutton & District
- Horsham
- Crawley & District
- Reigate
- Redhill & District
- London South West Metropolitan
- Thames Valley & District
- West Surrey
- Worthing & West Sussex
Also, for your information, Hiten Patel has been nominated unopposed for NPA's Area 8 (North West London) and will continue to represent the independent sector on the NPA Board.
Regards,
PharmaPlus
