Technicians should submit contact details

Pharmacy technicians who hope to register with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society when the technicians register comes into force, have been asked to submit their contact details to the Society. The Society is building a database of pharmacy technicians, which will support the distribution of information on technician registration. Employers of pharmacy technicians are also encouraged to submit their contact details.

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.”

Information on how to register with the Society and application packs will be sent out once they become available.The voluntary technicians’ register is expected to open in January 2005, with registration becoming compulsory in 2007.

Contact details should be submitted via the Society’s website
