NPA will not budge on pharmacy technician registration by Society

摘要

The National Pharmaceutical Association is standing firm in its opposition to the registration of pharmacy technicians by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. In a response to the Society's consultation document on the regulation of dispensing assistants and medicines counter assistants (Pj, 14 December, 2002, p 868) the NPA agrees that registration should not be required. It also takes the opportunity again to challenge the Society's decision to move towards compulsory registration for pharmacy technicians.
