Society uses its website to help build database of technicians
Pharmacy technicians and their employers are being encouraged to use the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's website to submit contact details so that the Society can build a database for distributing information on technician registration.
Filling in a data capture form on the registration
section of the website
takes about two minutes and will allow
the Society to send out information on how to register and application/
guidance packs once they become available.
Janet Flint, the Society’s head of support staff regulation, said: “We
are encouraging all technicians and other interested parties to submit
their details, including those who are as yet uncertain as to whether
or not they will eventually register.”
She added that the Society is working towards opening its voluntary register
in January 2005 and expects between 5,000 and 10,000 pharmacy technicians
to register with the Society within the first two to three years of the
register being open.
