Misdemeanours
The Pharmacy (Northern Ireland) Order, 1976 and amendments provides that where a person applying to have his name registered as a pharmaceutical chemist has been convicted of any criminal offence or been guilty of such misconduct as in the opinion of the Statutory Committee renders the convicted or guilty person unfit to have his name on the register, the Committee may, after enquiry into the matter, direct that the applicant’s name shall not be registered or shall not be registered until the Committee otherwise directs.
Heads of Schools would be expected to inform the Society of any conviction of a pharmacy student or any serious misconduct on the part of a student which comes to their notice.
In practice, when such a person applied for registration as a pharmaceutical chemist the facts would be made known to the Chairman of the Statutory Committee and he would then decide what action was appropriate. It is important that pharmacy students should be aware that misdemeanours during the time that they are students will be taken into account at the time that they apply for registration as a pharmacist.
On a quite separate matter, it is hoped that Heads of Schools would inform the Society of any serious medical disability that might affect the ability of an individual to operate as a registered Pharmacist, which comes to their notice. At the time of application for registration, a graduate is required to submit to the Registrar evidence that he is in good health physically and mentally. This is done by way of a statement signed by the applicant’s usual medical practitioner and in cases such as those referred to above it is important that specific points are addressed in the statement.
