Our myGPhCpharmacy.org website and the Registers search on our main website (pharmacyregulation.org) will be unavailable on Thursday 21 and Friday 22 January due to essential maintenance. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Should you need to consult the registers during the maintenance period please call 020 3713 8000 and our Customer contact centre colleagues will be able to help.

In March last year, at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, we issued a statement to support our registrants in dealing with the un-precedented challenges that they were facing.  As the pandemic continues, we know that health and social care professionals continue to work in very difficult situations and under extreme pressures. We want to thank all health and social care professionals for the care they have continued to provide to patients and those who use health and social care services through these very difficult and challenging circumstances.

Duncan Rudkin, Chief Executive of the GPhC, said: “We have been carefully considering the impact of national lockdowns, and the extraordinary circumstances in which provisionally-registered pharmacists are working, on the registration assessment.  “We are very aware of the significant stress and pressures that candidates have experienced during the pandemic. We greatly appreciate their patience and the enormous contribution they are continuing to make to the care of patients and the public during this hugely challenging time. 

The GPhC will be holding an additional Council meeting on Friday 8 January from 15:30-16:00 to consider a limited agenda. Please contact our Communications Team if you would like to join the meeting, which will be held via Zoom, by 16:00 on 7 January. Download a copy of our Council meeting papers [PDF 2 MB]

Our contact centre will be operating under amended hours over the holiday period. During the hours that we are closed, please email your enquiry to info@pharmacyregulation.org.  Best wishes for Christmas and New Year from everyone at the GPhC.
