GPhC Restoration
General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) Restoration
If you have previously been registered as a pharmacist or pharmacy technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) or the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, you can apply to re-join the GPhC register.
Restoration applications are complex and should be approached with a clear strategy and great care. There are a number of things for pharmacist to consider:
- The GPhC fitness to practise committee will be supported by a legal advisor, with representatives from the GPhC present to present the regulator’s case.
- The process is governed by strict statutory rules and procedures.
- There are limited ground of appeal and the committee can direct that no further applications can be made. Approaching a restoration application with a clear strategy and legal advice will assist pharmacists.
- The right evidence is critical to evidence fitness to practise. This is particularly relevant to showing insight and remediation.
