New Compulsory Registration Details for Pharmacy Technicians

From 1st July 2011 all pharmacy technicians must be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) to practice in England, Scotland or Wales.
If you do not apply to register before 5pm on 30th June 2011 you will not be able to carry out the duties under the title of being a pharmacy technician. You may find you have to undertake further qualifications and work experience before you can join to register.
This new statutory register will improve protection for patients and provide an assurance that you are under a duty to maintain the high standards the GPhC sets. As a member of a regulated profession, you should benefit from greater public confidence and trust in their workplace.
Don’t delay and register before 5pm on 30th June 2011.
Further details about compulsory registration and application forms are available on the GPhC’s website http://www.pharmacyregulation.org/index.aspx
