Every pharmacist and pharmacy technician registered with the GPhC has two annual obligations: pay the fee, and complete revalidation. Missing either removes you from the register.
The annual fee
Due 31 October each year. Reminders go to your registered email — make sure that address still works.
Revalidation — what you submit
By 31 October each year: - Four CPD records - One peer discussion - One reflective account
CPD records are 250–400 words describing a learning activity, what changed in your practice, and the patient benefit. The peer discussion is a 30–45 minute conversation with another registrant. The reflective account is 250–500 words on how you met one or more GPhC standards.
Make it easier across the year
Don't leave it to October. Two CPD entries a quarter takes 90 minutes total and gives you a buffer. The peer discussion is the easiest item to schedule months ahead.
What "learning activity" counts
Anything that genuinely changed how you practise: a structured course, an article you read, a difficult patient consultation you reflected on, a service you delivered for the first time. Reading the GPhC standards counts.
How WE4Pharmacy helps
The CPD log builder gives you a single place to record activities, draft your reflective account and peer discussion, and submit straight to your GPhC portal when October comes. It also alerts you 30 days out from the fee deadline so a missed email never costs you your registration.
