Welcoming pharmacy technicians to the register

The GPhC is delighted to announce the completion of the initial processing of those applications for registration by pharmacy technicians which were submitted by 1 July. We had expected  16,000 applications but the figure is closer to 20,500.

There are a relatively small number of applications yet to receive final approval, many of those requiring further information. We are seeking to process these as efficiently as we can.

There will be a feature in the January issue of our registrant bulletin, Regula+e, about pharmacy technicians and how their roles fit with those of medicines counter assistants and dispensing assistants. Just click here to learn more and sign up for PT specific emails
