History of the UKPPG

Associations, groups and committees

In 1970, Margaret Benfield organised a Saturday meeting for psychiatric pharmacists from the St. Albans area. From that, an informal group spread throughout the country, with meetings in Birmingham, High Royds (Ilkley), Kingsway (Derby), Bridgend (Wales) and Edinburgh. The Psychiatric Pharmacy Association was formed, but after a few years was dissolved. An informal group then became the organising committee for the annual conference, then later formed the PPG, evolving later into the UKPPG.

The committee from 1985-89 was essentially similar, but no one can quite remember!
