Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages

The Minister is quite right in the way she uses her honorary doctorates. Some people include them in their references to their qualifications. There was a time when doctors of philosophy, for example, did not use the title of "Doctor" other than when they were working in academia or something like that. There are doctors and professors in many spheres. I would not like people to start calling themselves "fellows" for the sake of aggrandisement. I am aware that the society has given honorary fellowships as accolades to those who have helped the pharmacy sector.
