Why join the PDA?

The PDA is a representative body for pharmacists, students, and trainee pharmacists. We represent your interests, defend your reputation and we provide leadership.

The PDA is a representative body for pharmacists, students, and trainee pharmacists. We represent your interests, defend your reputation and we provide leadership. We support your educational and developmental experience, your practice and we protect your career. We do not allow business owners into membership, this is important, because no matter what, we never have any conflicts with our principal role, which is to put you at the heart of everything we do. Because we provide reliable leadership, we are already trusted by more than 40,000 members and this means that we handle more than 5,000 cases of support each year. No other pharmacist, student and trainee pharmacist representative organisation comes close to this level of operation. We are the largest pharmacist membership organisation in the UK.
