Share Your Views on the GPhC Proposed Fee Changes

The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) would like you to share your feedback on their proposed draft changes to registration fees for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy premises. Your input is invaluable in shaping the GPhCs decisions about their proposal to introduce a two-year fee cycle from September 2025 and increase annual registration fees by 6% in both 2025 and 2026.

The GPhC understand that these changes may impact you, and are committed to hearing your views.
Please take a moment to read the proposals and complete the survey by 24 April 2025.

Why are we proposing these changes?
Like many organisations, the GPhC are facing increased operational costs due to inflation, higher utility bills, National Insurance contributions, and supplier expenses. Despite making savings where possible, fee increases are necessary to make sure they continue to meet their regulatory responsibilities effectively.
