Pharmacist suspended after confessing he took cocaine and ecstasy
Pharmacist suspended after confessing he took cocaine and ecstasy A colleague claimed he said "he had been a bit naughty last night" and had been "sniffing things" Daniel Rosser admitted using illicit drugs (Image: Aneurin Bevan University Health Board ) A Welsh pharmacist has been suspended after admitting using cocaine and ecstasy. Pharmacist Daniel Rosser, owner of D R Rosser chemist, has received a three-month suspension after being found not fit to practise. As well as confessing to using illicit drugs, junior colleagues also gave evidence reporting his demeaning behaviour towards them. A General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) fitness-to-practise committee was told Mr Rosser had initially attempted to conceal his "substantial history of taking illicit drugs" before later admitting it. Rosser bought the independent pharmacy on Church Street in Monmouth in 2006 but will no longer serve as the lead pharmacist for three months following the principal hearing by the GPhC. During the hearing held between April 28 and May 7, the committee heard that "he admitted to using illicit drugs" to colleagues but then denied all allegations put to him by the council's inspector. The 43-year-old later confessed to using recreational drugs in his spare time saying: "I understand why recreational drugs would be frowned upon by the GPHc and why I shouldn't do so. "I have never been on duty as a pharmacist under the influence of recreational drugs, but I understand the patient safety concerns if it's known that I do so in my out of work time." Article continues below He later went on to say that he has "stopped taking recreational drugs" and has limited his alcohol consumption. Stay informed on the latest health news by signing up to our newsletter here Former colleagues of Rosser gave evidence to say that they believed he had been under the influence when working, compromising patient safety. However, this was not found proven. In August 2023, he told a council inspector that he had been taking drugs, "namely cocaine, marijuana and ecstasy" at festivals over the five years prior. A former colleague recalls him telling them that "he has taken drugs ever since university days and stated that he has 'got a bit worse' with it in the last five years". A positive use of cocaine and methamphetamine (ecstasy) between July 14 and August 28, 2023 was found proven. There were six allegations put to Rosser that included him attending the pharmacy under the influence, dishonesty to the council, the bullying of a junior colleague and refusing to talk to a dementia patient "because she'll forget anyway". The council only found two of the allegations to be proved true; Confirming to a GPhC Inspector when asked that he did not use illicit drugs and secondly, that he was dishonest, attempting to conceal his history of taking illicit drugs. The other allegations were not proven. At the hearing, the council heard that from a colleague that Rosser had 'stumbled' into the pharmacy looking a "mess" and he said that he had been 'doing cocaine and did not get to bed until 5am". He reportedly told the colleague that "he had been a bit naughty last night" and had been "sniffing things". The council found that this evidence was "not corroborated by other witnesses" and that there was no other evidence that he had attended the pharmacy under the influence of drugs or alcohol. A former junior colleague of Rosser's also claimed that he was "belittling and demeaning" towards her as well as "barging" past her and "snatching the pharmacy's phone" from her hands. She claimed that his behaviour towards her caused her "emotional harm". Mr Rosser submitted to the hearing that he was deeply sorry for his actions and understood he brought the pharmacy profession into disrepute. His submissions included references to demonstrate that he is "a pharmacist of exceptional quality". The committee considered that a three-month suspension was "appropriate and proportionate to mark the seriousness of the registrant's actions". Article continues below They found he brought the profession of pharmacy "into disrepute". The committee said: "Taking illicit drugs, even when not under the influence of them when working, does not uphold how a pharmacy professional should behave."

Incoming RCSD Superintendent 'ecstatic' about community support
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC)- The incoming school superintendent for the Rochester City School District, Dr. Eric Rosser says he's 'ecstatic' about partnering with the community on ensuring students succeed. He says the turnout at the Community Conversations hosted by the district has shown him how vested community organizations and individuals are about ensuring children in Rochester have what they need. Rosser answered a host of questions from students, teachers, parents, and community members at Dr. Freddie Thomas Middle School on Tuesday evening from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Participants expressed enthusiasm about the work Dr. Rosser did as superintendent in Poughkeepsie, but pointed out that many superintendents of urban school districts leave after 3 to 5 years. Rosser pointed to his 6 years in Poughkeepsie and encouraged folks to do their homework about his track record as an educator in Buffalo, Atlanta, and other cities. 'Revamp & reimagination': Incoming RCSD superintendent hears concerns from parents When asked what he would need to stay 5 to 10 years in Rochester, he pointed to community support. 'While the super does have super in his name, we are not superheroes. It's important we come together to support what we believe our vision for the children in our community to be.' Rosser said. He answered a host of other questions related to academic achievement, funding cuts, continuous changes and revisions in the district, professional development for teachers, and creating a safe environment for students. Rosser listened to concerns and community expectations. He took notes and pledged to serve as chief ambassador and advocate for the district. The third Community Conversation will be held Saturday, June 14 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at Jefferson Campus. Rosser officially begins as RCSD Superintendent July 1.

Top recruit in 2027 class discusses UNC basketball program
Top recruit in 2027 class discusses UNC basketball program The North Carolina Tar Heels have a three-player recruiting class coming in headlined by five-star forward Caleb Wilson in 2025. Hubert Davis did a good job assembling the class as he looks for his team to improve on last season. But the focus on the future is also there for the Tar Heels as well. One prospect the Tar Heels are pursuing in the 2027 class is power forward CJ Rosser. The Rocky Mount, North Carolina native is a priority recruit for the Tar Heels not only because he's ranked No. 2 overall in the class but because he's an in-state recruit. While Rosser's recruitment is far from over, he caught up with Sam Lance of Zag's Blog to update his recruitment and he talked about Hubert Davis and UNC. Here is what he had to say about the Tar Heels: North Carolina: 'I was talking with coach [Hubert] Davis. He's a chill guy. He talked about how their players come to his house every now and then just so they can have a little talk. He treats them like family.' Duke, Virginia Tech and Notre Dame are also involved as are several other programs. The 6-foot-9, 195-pound Rosser is ranked No. 2 nationally, the No. 1 power forward and No. 1 player in the state of North Carolina per the 247Sports recruiting rankings. He currently has 11 total offers in his recruitment and will have more as the recruitment goes on.
