You will already be registered with the GPhC and practicing safely and effectively at all times. Ideally you will have worked within secondary or primary care/GP Practice previously., The Pharmacy Technician supports safe, effective, and cost-efficient prescribing within the practice by managing medication records, processing repeat prescriptions, and ensuring accuracy following hospital discharges.
