The Pharmacy Order 2010

Registration in respect of the provision of occasional services

10.—(1) A visiting practitioner is entitled to be entered in Part 5 of the Register if the practitioner is entitled under paragraph 11 or 14 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 5 of the Register as a pharmacy technician, 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 5 of the Register if, in the Registrar’s opinion, that visiting practitioner is not entitled under paragraph 11 or 14 to provide occasional pharmacy services.

(4) If under sub-paragraph (3) the Registrar refuses to enter a visiting practitioner in Part 5 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 5 of the Register ceases because, by reason of the operation of paragraph 15(1), (2) or (5), the person ceases to be entitled to provide occasional pharmacy services.

(6) If the person’s name is entered in Part 5 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 5 of the Register on the basis of an entitlement under sub-paragraph (1), of any other provision of this Order under which a registered pharmacy technician’s name may be removed from that part of the Register or under which a registered pharmacy technician’s entry in that part of the Register may be suspended.
