INTRODUCTION

Following the decision by the Pharmacy Council to implement its new policy on supervision of pharmacies by pharmacists effective, 4th January, 2016; many pharmacists who own pharmacies but for one reason or the other work full time elsewhere petitioned the PSGH President for some level of consideration since they could make adequate arrangement for supervision in their absence.
