The Academy of
Pharmaceutical Sciences is the professional body for the
pharmaceutical sciences in Great Britain. The objectives of the Academy
are to promote the pharmaceutical sciences in all areas of professional
practice by pharmaceutical scientists, including academia, industry,
regulation and commerce, and to encourage high standards of working
practices within the discipline.
The Academy seeks to achieve these aims by:
1. Promotion
Providing a focal point for the promotion of the pharmaceutical
sciences in GB to government, national bodies, funding organisations and
other relevant groups, by working alone or in collaboration with other
organisations as appropriate, including political lobbying.
2. Recognition of achievements in the pharmaceutical sciences
Awarding post-nominal designations, including Membership and
Fellowship, to members of the Academy. Working with the Science Council to
award and maintain the Chartered Scientist status for its members.
3. Support
- Promoting pharmaceutical
sciences to students by the organisation of student-focused events to
provide support for professional development, careers guidance and
career opportunities.
- Encouraging the participation
of student members in Academy events by offering them reduced delegate
fees and a favourable membership fee structure.
- Engaging emerging scientific
talent from academic establishments to sustain the growth in Academy
membership.
4. Education and training
5. Networking
Organising social events to encourage networking, including receptions
for students, academics and industrialists, and an annual “black tie”
dinner. Ultimately enabling a collaborative culture amongst pharmaceutical
scientists within the United Kingdom that promotes information sharing to
advance innovations and partnerships in this area.
