PART 1Pharmacists

Registration in respect of provision of occasional pharmacy services2

1

A visiting practitioner is entitled to be entered in Part 4 of the Register if the practitioner is entitled under paragraph 3 or 6 to provide occasional pharmacy services; and the Registrar must give effect to that entitlement.

2

A visiting practitioner who is entitled under sub-paragraph (1) to be entered in Part 4 of the Register, but who is not entered in that part of the Register, is to be treated as being so entered.

3

The Registrar may refuse to enter a visiting practitioner in Part 4 of the Register if, in the Registrar’s opinion, that visiting practitioner is not entitled under paragraph 3 or 6 to provide occasional pharmacy services.

4

If under sub-paragraph (3) the Registrar refuses to enter a visiting practitioner in Part 4 of the Register, the Registrar must send to the practitioner at the practitioner’s last known home address a statement in writing giving the practitioner notice of that decision and the reasons for it and of the right of appeal to the Appeals Committee under article 40.

5

Sub-paragraph (6) applies where a person’s entitlement under sub-paragraph (1) to be entered in Part 4 of the Register ceases because, by reason of the operation of paragraph 7(1), (2) or (5), the person ceases to be entitled under this Part to provide occasional pharmacy services.

6

If the person’s name is entered in Part 4 of the Register, the Registrar may remove that person’s name from that part of the Register.

7

Sub-paragraphs (1), (2), (5) and (6) do not affect the application, in relation to persons entered in Part 4 of the Register on the basis of an entitlement under sub-paragraph (1), of any other provision of this Order under which a registered pharmacist’s name may be removed from that part of the Register or under which a registered pharmacist’s entry in that part of the Register may be suspended.
