The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), the state regulator of the profession of pharmacy in the United Kingdom, will be reviewing its standards of conduct, ethics and performance, “including Standard 3.4 which sets out what pharmacy professionals must do if their religious or moral beliefs prevent them from providing a service.”
Preliminary work is to be done in 2013, and there will be public consultation and engagement in 2014/2015. Those concerned about freedom of conscience among pharmacists in the United Kingdom should follow and participate in the review.
