General Pharmaceutical Council: Consultation on a proposed 7.5% increase in all fees

The General Pharmaceutical Council are proposing a 7.5% increase in all fees for pharmacies, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and foundation trainees, including those for registration and renewal, from April 2024. This means that:

  • the pharmacist renewal fee would increase by £19 from £257 to £276
  • the pharmacy technician renewal fee would increase by £9 from £121 to £130
  • the pharmacy premises renewal fee would increase by £27 from £365 to £392

They are seeking views on:

  • the approach to increasing fees equally across all registrant groups in 2024, to cover increases in operational costs  
  • the impact of our proposal to increase fees by 7.5% on pharmacy staff, pharmacy owners, foundation trainee pharmacists, patients and members of the public, and individuals or groups sharing any of the protected characteristics
