Two Vice Presidents are appointed by Council from amongst those proposed by the Board of Pharmaceutical Sciences and two Vice Presidents are appointed by Council from amongst those proposed by the Board of Pharmaceutical Practice.


Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is composed of the President, the Scientific Secretary and the Professional Secretary. The Executive Committee prepares, proposes and co-ordinates all the activities of FIP, and refers these matters to the Bureau.
