Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain

The Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain was the professional organization responsible for overseeing pharmacy practice and education in Great Britain. Established in the 19th century, it set standards for pharmacists, regulated pharmacy training, and aimed to ensure safe, effective medication use. Its role was to maintain professional integrity and protect public health by ensuring pharmacists adhered to high standards. Over time, its functions evolved into the General Pharmaceutical Council, which now regulates pharmacists and pharmacies in the UK.
