How many public representatives are required in the College Council composition?

  1. At least one

  2. Three

  3. Four

  4. Two

The correct answer is: Four

The composition of the College Council includes public representatives as a means to ensure that the interests and perspectives of the general public are considered in the decision-making processes of the College. The requirement for four public representatives is designed to promote diverse viewpoints and enhance transparency and accountability within the pharmacy profession. By including this number, it allows for a more balanced representation, which can contribute to more effective governance. This inclusion serves the essential purpose of aligning the practices of the pharmacy profession with public expectations and ethical standards, thereby reinforcing the trust placed in pharmacists by the community they serve. In contrast, fewer than four public representatives might not capture a wide enough range of public opinion, potentially limiting the Council's effectiveness in addressing the societal needs related to pharmacy practice.
