The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) is seeking views on draft standards for the initial education and training of pharmacy technicians.
This consultation is open until 24 December 2025.
Pharmacy technicians play a vital role in providing safe and effective pharmacy services. It is essential that their education and training is fit for purpose and reflects changes in pharmacy practice.
The GPhC is proposing updates to initial education and training to ensure pre-registration pharmacy technicians continue to gain a strong foundation of knowledge, skills, and behaviours. This will enable them to work confidently across a variety of pharmacy settings throughout Great Britain.
The pharmacy regulator is seeking views on proposed changes including the level of study, entry requirements, educational supervision requirements, and learning outcomes. An overview of the changes can be found on the GPhC website.
