This was published when the organisation was the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
As a pharmacist or pharmacy technician, you are required to revalidate by the GPhC every year. This includes if you are in a patient-facing role or non-patient-facing job such as academia, industry or regulation; you must still revalidate to stay on the GPhC register.
Revalidation helps keep your skills up to date and demonstrates them to the public.
This guide will lead you through the revalidation process step by step. We’ll show you when and how to revalidate with easy-to-follow examples of CPD records, peer discussions and reflective accounts.
We’ll also show you how to save all your records on your RCPharm MyCPD portfolio and transfer them directly to MyGPhC.org ready to submit for revalidation.
