We are consulting on proposed changes to fees
We 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
You can see a full list of the proposed fee changes in the consultation document below.

We need your views on:
our approach to increasing fees equally across all registrant groups in 2024, to cover increases in our 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
Have your say
The consultation is open until Tuesday 8 August 2023 and the survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

We welcome feedback from individuals and organisations. This will help us test our overall approach to fee setting, as well as the specific proposals.
