Non-statutory committees
The GPhC has four non-statutory committees: audit and risk, assurance and appointments, finance and planning, and workforce (previously known as remuneration). There is also an advisory group on the initial education and training of pharmacists. The membership of the non-statutory committees is reviewed every twelve months through an agreed process.
Audit and Risk Committee
The Audit and Risk Committee supports the Council by reviewing the GPhC's internal and external audit arrangements. It also reviews the arrangements for managing risks. It provides assurance to the Council that risks are being identified and managed. This includes advising the Council on the assurances provided in respect of risk and internal controls.
The committee is made up of five council members, including the chair of the committee, Neil Buckley.
The committee also has an independent member, Helen Dearden. Helen took up the appointment in 2017 and continues to serve as an independent member, having been re- appointed in 2020.
The Audit and Risk Committee met five times in the year: in May, August, October and December 2021, and in February 2022.
The committee's minutes are reviewed by the Council after each meeting and the committee presents a full report to Council once a year. You can see these reports on the GPhC website.
Finance and Planning Committee
The Finance and Planning Committee has oversight of strategic and financial planning. It also supports the Council by overseeing and monitoring the development and implementation of the GPhC's investment strategy and policy.
The committee is made up of five council members, including the chair of the committee, Mark Hammond.
The committee also has an independent member, Andrew McLaren. Andrew took up the appointment on 1 September 2019 to support the committee’s new enhanced investment role and continued in the role this year.
The committee met four times in the year: in May, September and November 2021, and in January 2022.

Workforce Committee (formerly Remuneration Committee)
In 2021 the Remuneration Committee adopted new terms of reference (approved by the Council) and changed its name to the Workforce Committee to reflect its wider role.
Like the Remuneration Committee before it, the Workforce Committee has the power to approve or reject the pay framework for GPhC employees and the packages for the chief executive and directors. This power is delegated from the GPhC's governing council. The
