Accuracy Checking Pharmacy Technician Revalidation

Accuracy Checking Revalidation Service

If you wish to have your competence formally assessed, Buttercups has launched an Accuracy Checking Revalidation Service to any individuals who meet the requirements outlined in our framework above, for a fee of £43 (Exc VAT). This may be helpful if you have moved employer or had a break from accuracy checking.

You should be aware that your employer may have alternative processes for revalidation of your competence and you should seek their advice on the correct way to meet the requirements of your organisation.

Full details and an application form for the service is available in the revalidation framework and toolkit document.


Full revalidation requirements for ACPT's reinstated from October 2022

In 2020 revalidation requirements were eased enabling ACPT's, who wished to have their competency formally assessed by Buttercups, to submit just one reflective account for revalidation. This was implemented to reduce the pressures on pharmacy staff during the pandemic as they worked hard to protect patients and the public.

In line with the GPhC's revalidation requirements for Pharmacy Technician's, notification that as of 01.10.22 full revalidation requirements will be reinstated for ACPT's when submitting their Buttercups ACPT Revalidation application.
