Consultation on remote hearings

We consulted on a proposed permanent change to our procedural rules to give us the express legal power to conduct some of our hearings and meetings remotely by teleconference or videolink.

We sought views to help inform our next steps and guide our long-term approach on the following key points:

  • our proposed permanent change to our procedural rules
  • the positive and negative impacts of continuing to hold some hearings remotely on patients and the public, pharmacy professionals and individuals or groups sharing protected characteristics
  • the advantages and disadvantages of holding remote hearings and any circumstances when a hearing should not be held remotely.
