The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Director for Scotland, Clare Morrison will be joining NHS Scotland in January.
Morrison has been appointed Director of Community Engagement at Healthcare Improvement Scotland.
Paul Bennett, RPS CEO said: "Many people, particularly in Scotland, will know of Clare's passion for quality improvement and patient involvement in the co-design
of services. This was demonstrated through her previous work on the development of Near Me, NHS Scotland's video consulting service, and its co-design with the
public, patients, clinicians and NHS staff which gained international recognition from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
"Therefore, this is an exciting opportunity for Clare to join Healthcare Improvement Scotland to take on a strategic leadership role in supporting effective community
engagement across health and social care in Scotland. It also enables Clare to make even greater use of her training as an NHS Scotland Scottish Quality & Safety
Fellow and we wish her every success in her new role.
In the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining high standards for water quality is crucial for ensuring product safety, efficacy, and compliance with
regulatory standards.
Water is a fundamental ingredient in drug manufacturing, and its quality directly impacts the production process and the end products. This makes adherence
to water service compliance a legal obligation and a critical aspect of operational integrity.
THE LEGAL COMPLICATIONS OF POOR WATER QUALITY
Compliance with water quality standards in the pharmaceutical industry is mandated by regulatory agencies such as the MHRA, several regulations that set
strict criteria for the types of water used, including purified water, water for injection, and sterile water.
Failure to meet these standards can result in severe penalties, including product recalls, fines, and loss of manufacturing licenses. Regulatory compliance
ensures the pharmaceutical companies adhere to legislations and avoid legal repercussions that can damage their reputation and financial standing
