Join APTUK

Please follow the FIVE steps below for JOINING APTUK as a new member / existing member using the DIRECT DEBIT SCHEME and instructions on getting access to the website (members area):

If you have any enquiries relating to membership and other payment methods, please contact our membership co-ordinator by email: membership@aptuk.org. N.B membership is for United Kingdom residents only.

1. New members and existing members will need to set up a yearly direct debit with APTUK. Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technician membership will need to complete a separate registration form. (Click on the images below to navigate to the membership categories and the e-direct forms) 
2. Your application for a direct debit will be processed by RAPIDATA, and a confirmation email will be sent to you from them. This email is only confirming your direct debit is set up, not your full APTUK membership. APTUK will need to recieve payment before providing the FULL membership.
3. Membership co-ordinator will then process your full membership with APTUK after confirmation that your direct debit (fee) has been paid (within 10 to 14 working days).
4. Membership co-ordinator will then send a welcome email, which will include your membership number.
5. You will also receive an email invitation to the members only area of the website

Please note; which ever date you specify as your preferred collection date, this will be when your membership begins with APTUK, e.g. if you choose for your first payment to be received in 2 months time from today, then your membership will begin in two months time. However, it will take approximately 10 to 14 working days for your membership to be processed and posted to you after confirmation of payment.
