Accuracy Checking Pharmacy Technician revalidation

Course overview

Since 2018, accuracy checking pharmacy technicians are no longer required to re-accredit their certificates every two years. This is because pharmacy technicians are registered professionals in their own right, and have a professional duty to revalidate with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

However, if you wish to have your competence formally assessed, Buttercups has launched an Accuracy Checking Revalidation Service for any individuals who meet the requirements outlined in our framework, for a fee of £43 (exc VAT). This may be helpful if you have moved employer or had a break from accuracy checking.

You should be aware that your employer may have alternative processes for revalidation of your competence and you should seek their advice on the correct way to meet the requirements of your organisation.

Full details and an application form for the service are available in the revalidation framework and toolkit document.
