Your report (News, THES, June 9) about the subject review of pharmacy and pharmacology at the University of Derby was misleading. Those subjects were previously considered in a single unit that included programmes in general practice medicine. Weaknesses were largely in the latter. As a result, Derby closed the programme. The revisit has enabled appropriate credit to be given to pharmacy and pharmacology's strengths.
Such a problem will not arise in the new method of quality assurance, as separate reports will be made on any individual programme that is failing.
