As the regulator for the pharmacy sector, we are uniquely placed to approve training and qualification providers to make sure that courses meet our standards.
We accredit and recognise pharmacy courses leading to registration for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, and registration annotation for pharmacists. We approve and accredit training plans for pharmacist foundation training.
We also recognise courses and qualifications for pharmacy support staff.
