Level 3 Diploma: Principles and Practice for Pharmacy Technicians

In response to news of the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), registrar’s decision to recognise the new national qualification, the Level 3 Diploma: Principles and Practice for Pharmacy Technicians, Liz Fidler, President of APTUK, said:

"APTUK are delighted with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), registrar’s decision to recognise the new national qualification, the Level 3 Diploma: Principles and Practice for Pharmacy Technicians. Recognition follows the submission by several Awarding Organisations who have co-produced the qualification.

The recognition of a national qualification that reflects the October 2017, GPhC Initial Education and Training (IET) standards provides core education for a day 1 pharmacy technician registrant.

The Qualification reduces the duplicity of the traditional two qualification route to registration and is reflective of current and future roles for pharmacy technicians in a modern NHS.

APTUK look forward to hearing implementation plans that will support growing the pharmacy technician workforce with the right skills to effectively contribute to patient care."
