I am a patient or member of the public

The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) is the regulator for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy premises in Great Britain.
It is our job to protect, promote and maintain the health, safety and wellbeing of members of the public, and in particular those members of the public who use or need the services of pharmacy professionals or the services provided at a registered pharmacy.
We do this by:
- approving qualifications for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians
- accrediting education and training providers
- maintaining a register of properly qualified pharmacists and pharmacy technicians and pharmacy premises
- setting standards for professional, fitness to practise, and ethical standards
- setting and promoting standards for the safe and effective practice of pharmacy at registered
- pharmacies, ensuring all registrants maintain their knowledge by completing continuing professional development (CPD)
- monitoring pharmacy professionals' fitness to practise
- dealing fairly and proportionately with complaints and concerns.
