Clinical Pharmacy Council : A Huge Fraud

Dear Readers..!!! Thanks for visiting my blog...!!!

Clinical Pharmacy Council (CPC) is formed in 2014 with a motto of transforming traditional pharmacy practice into Advanced patient centered pharmacy practice. It has been seen in every part of social media regarding CPC which framed a fake reputation among pharmacists for self benefits. It has been misguiding the pharmacists of India from the past couple of years by giving permission and certification to practice pharmacy by opening a pharma-clinic. Please note that NO NGO or Society or Private Association has a right to certify you or permit you to practice by opening a clinic. 





European Society of Clinical Pharmacy, United Kingdom of Clinical Pharmacy Association, American Colleges of Clinical Pharmacy, South African Society of Clinical Pharmacy are the International Associations of Clinical Pharmacists formed by the collaborative memorandum with various International Organizations providing advocacy and resources to achieve excellence in practice, research and education with various specializations. Whereas CPC in India is formed by a private association or an individual which was constituted by the Society Registration Act (but not Pharmacy Act). Please note both cannot be the same. It is foolish to be a member of such body after being licensed from the concerned Pharmacy Council.

The Right to Information Act (RTI) activists had approached the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) to give a clarity on CPC, after investigation by PCI; Clinical Pharmacy Council was proved to be a fraud with no right to register/ license/ certify pharmacists. This is just to misguide the pharmacists for personal benefits --- says the Registrar-cum-Secretary Ms. Archana Mudgal. A circular to the Andhra Pradesh State Pharmacy Council and the Drugs Controller was also passed by the PCI to take immediate action on the members of the CPC and ban the concerned website.
