Hi Donna
Have you been a technician for 12 years and not registered? I think by law but I may be wrong that unless you register you cannot call yourself a technician. It may be worth a quick phone call to the General Pharmaceutical Council. xxx

It may be worth a quick phone call to the General Medical Council.

I understand they add people on 15th and 1st of every month, so as they only received my application on 7th, I'm guessing I'm waiting until 1st August - haven't had any money taken yet though!

Hi Donna...
I thought you have lost the option of route a and b if you didn't appy by the deadline of 30th June 2011 and can't call yourself a Pharmacy Technician unless you apply with the now needed qualifacations as listed on the GphC webpage.
