Pharmacy Technicians
We do not currently register or regulate pharmacy technicians working in Northern Ireland.
We are working with the Department of Health towards including pharmacy technicians under our registration and regulation as soon as possible.
To follow the latest developments in this process go to Pharmacy Technician Regulation and Development Newsletters | Department of Health (health-ni.gov.uk)
