GPhC forms Anti-Racism Champions to promote inclusivity in pharmacy

The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) has taken a significant step towards advancing its anti-racism agenda by forming a new working group
of “Anti-Racism Champions.”

Comprising existing GPhC Council and Executive members, the group is committed to providing visible and vocal leadership, internally and externally, to
combat racism and promote inclusivity across the pharmacy sector.

The formation of this working group follows the GPhC’s recent Governing Council discussion in July, which focused on the next steps in its ‘Racism in
Pharmacy’ work.

This initiative is an important part of the GPhC’s wider Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) strategy, aimed at proactively addressing discrimination
and reducing health inequalities through the Council’s regulatory influence.

The Anti-Racism Champions group includes people with lived experience of racism and allies who will help shape future action.
