The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) is the professional and regulatory body for pharmacists in England, Scotland and Wales

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) is using a videoconferencing service to cut down on business travel to meetings.

The Mvision system is also being used by the regulatory body's disciplinary committees for dialling in witnesses unable to attend in person.

RPSGB previously used a Polycom system for videoconferencing but switched suppliers after problems with the setup.

"We have had videoconferencing for over five years but it was unreliable and high-maintenance. Mvision offered us a stress-free alternative," said Martin Bagley, audio-visual support manager at RPSGB.

The new supplier has installed systems at offices in London, Edinburgh and Cardiff. The RPSGB pays a single fixed monthly fee for unlimited point-to-point video calls.
