Entry to Part 2 of the GPhC register confers the protected title “pharmacy technician”. The application window is within five years of starting, or two years of completing, a recognised course. Registration is then maintained by annual revalidation — CPD records, a peer discussion and a reflective account — the same revalidation framework as pharmacists (exact requirements should be confirmed against the live GPhC revalidation guidance).
