Hundreds of Pharmacists miss the renewal deadline

There was disappointing news in the Pharmacy world this month as hundreds of Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians missed out on the GPhC renewal deadline, resulting in fines of £486 for Pharmacists and £297 for Pharmacy Technicians.
The GPhC are urging a new universal registration deadline to be set by the Government instead of the usual rolling deadline register, whereby renewal occurs on the anniversary of their registration date.
As a Pharmacist what are your thoughts on this? Have you been affected by the renewal deadline? Would you like to see more flexibility in the registration process? Please let Flame Health know your thoughts.
