-
The Society was founded in 1828 as the Apothecaries, Chemists and Druggists' Society. By 1868, as the whole structure of the pharmaceutical profession changed, this was altered to Manchester Chemists and Druggists' Association. This title was modified still further in 1883 to the Manchester Pharmaceutical Association. Forty years later it was felt that there was a need to have stronger links with the Pharmaceutical Association of Great Britain and consequently the Manchester, Salford and District branch of the Pharmaceutical Society was formed. The Branch and the association have since worked in parallel.
