The first Pharmacy Act was passed
in Great Britain on the 31st day of
July in the year 1868. This was
marked as a huge milestone in the
history of the field and practice of
Pharmacy, as it set up a register of
people who were qualified to
restrict or permit the sale of
poisons to only qualified people.
Moreover, this paved the way for
the promotion of safe medicines
and it jumpstarted the introduction
of formal qualifications for
pharmacists who were the ones
responsible for thorough
examination of the pharmaceutical
products they were distributing to
the public.
