Department of Health consultation is an opportunity for positive reform

The Department of Health has today launched a consultation on the regulatory reform of health professional regulation in which it asks questions on how to improve the protection of the public through more efficient, responsive and effective regulation. 

The consultation paper poses a number of important questions on the future of health regulation.

In response to the launch of the consultation, GPhC chief executive Duncan Rudkin said:

We have published a report which highlights that there was overall support for the proposals for revalidation for pharmacy professionals among respondents to a consultation we held earlier this year.

Over 1800 individuals and 80 organisations responded to the consultation, with over 2400 others taking part in events and meetings across Great Britain.

Today we have released more data about the performance of candidates in the June 2017 registration assessment, including:

• Anonymised marks of individual candidates who passed the assessment at the first attempt and trained in either hospital or community settings, as well as the school of pharmacy where they studied
