The national council elects a nine-member bureau from among its members, comprising a president, a vice-president, a treasurer and six councillors. These nine members include at least two pharmacists who are dispensing chemists, one pharmacist from each of the other sections of the Order and one of the professors or senior lecturers from the pharmacy training and research units appointed by the Minister for Health.
Board members are elected for three years. They may be re-elected.
The Executive Committee prepares and implements the deliberations of the National Council. It deals with urgent matters between sessions. The decisions it takes on urgent matters are reported to the next session of the National Council.
