Fitness to practise is when someone has the skills, knowledge, character and health to do their job safely and effectively. A pharmacy professional may not be fit to practise for a number of reasons, for example if:
their behaviour is putting patients at risk
they are practising in an unsafe way, or
their health may be affecting their ability to make safe judgements about their patients
Dealing effectively with fitness to practise concerns is at the heart of our commitment to protecting patients and the public, and maintaining public confidence in pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
If you are concerned that a pharmacist or pharmacy technician registered with us is not fit to practise, you can report your concern to us.
You can find out more about how we deal with fitness to practise concerns on our website.
