This was very informative my case is confusing a bit. My bachelor degree is from Egypt however my master degree is from France. In this case which certificate do i apply for eligibility check and does having a certificate from EU change anything?
In your case, you should apply for eligibility check based on your master's degree from France. Having a certificate from an EU country, like France, can potentially simplify the recognition process, but you would still need to follow the procedures outlined by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in the UK to have your qualifications recognized and fulfill any additional requirements they may have, such as language proficiency and pre-registration training.
Ospap is really a long process. I am a pharmacist and already in uk but really feeling stuck and frustrated here because registration is a process of two years minimum and without that you don't even get pharmacy dispenser job here
To immigrate and work in the UK as a pharmacist, you will need to complete the Overseas Pharmacist Assessment Programme (OSPAP) or its equivalent. The OSPAP can indeed be a lengthy process, taking at least two years to complete. It's a prerequisite for registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and obtaining pharmacy jobs in the UK. While the process may be frustrating, completing OSPAP is essential to work as a pharmacist in the UK, and there are no shortcuts. You can explore support and guidance from organizations like the GPhC or professional associations to navigate the registration process more smoothly.
How do you cover your cost of living while doing OSPAP?
For the UK ENIC is it okay to include the license certificate in which country you’re licensed?
When immigrating to Australia as a pharmacist, it's essential to focus on the specific requirements set by the Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) and the Pharmacy Board of Australia. While the UK ENIC (United Kingdom National Information Centre) primarily assesses qualifications for use within the UK, including your licensing certificate from your home country can be beneficial when applying for registration with APC in Australia. However, the key is to ensure that your qualifications are formally assessed by APC to meet Australian standards. Consulting with immigration and healthcare professionals who specialize in pharmacist migration to Australia is advisable to navigate the process effectively. Keep in mind that requirements can change, so staying updated with APC and Australian immigration authorities is crucial.
Does Eu/EEA pharmacist also need citizenship of the country as well or the degree is enough? For example I'm a pharmacist in italy with Italian degree but I don't have a citizenship
An EU/EEA pharmacist does not necessarily need citizenship of their country to immigrate to the UK. Having a recognized pharmacy degree and meeting the specific registration requirements set by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in the UK are the key factors.
Hi. If i apply for General Visa, than how can i get work sponsorship as a Pharmacist because i haven't completed GPhC exam
If you haven't completed the GPhC exam, it can be challenging to secure work sponsorship as a pharmacist in the UK because GPhC registration is typically a prerequisite for employment in this field. To increase your chances of obtaining work sponsorship, it's advisable to complete the GPhC exam and gain the necessary qualifications and registration before applying for pharmacist positions in the UK.
Can I apply to GPhC after completing my graduation Bpharm from India?
Yes, you can apply to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in the UK after completing your BPharm degree from India.
Hey man! I've graduated as master of pharmacy from Sofia, Bulgaria, which is an EU country. Is OSPAP necessary for an EU citizen? Also, is it possible to apply directly for NHS in Scotland?
Yes, as a pharmacy graduate from Sofia, Bulgaria, or any other EU country, you would generally need to complete the Overseas Pharmacists Assessment Programme (OSPAP) if you wish to work as a pharmacist in the UK. The OSPAP is a one-year postgraduate diploma designed to ensure that pharmacists trained outside the UK meet the same standards as UK-trained pharmacists. After completing the OSPAP, candidates must undertake a period of pre-registration training and pass the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) registration assessment to be eligible to practice as a pharmacist in the UK.
However, regulations can evolve, and there have been changes due to Brexit and ongoing adjustments in professional recognition between the UK and EU countries. Therefore, it's crucial to check the latest guidance from the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), which is the regulatory body for pharmacists in the UK, for the most current requirements.
As for applying directly to the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland, yes, it is possible once you have completed the necessary qualifications and registration requirements to practice as a pharmacist in the UK. The NHS frequently advertises vacancies, and there are specific recruitment processes for different roles within the NHS, including positions for pharmacists. You would need to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria for registration with the GPhC and any specific requirements for the position you are interested in.
Applying at workgateways 2 years before arriving? Can u please eloborate or give an idea about it? Applying on their website from my home country 2 years prior arriving uk for ospap? How?
The process is explained well in the video. Make your question clear
You can apply through the WorkGateways website from your home country, two years prior to arriving in the UK for OSPAP. Complete the application process, provide required information and documentation, and be prepared for multiple stages and assessments. Applying early allows sufficient time for necessary preparations before starting the OSPAP program in the UK.

Should i apply for visa first or pass the eligibility first ?!
If you are from a non-EEA country, you must first apply for a Tier 2 (General) visa. In addition, you must have a work offer from an approved firm and satisfy specific standards, including passing an English language exam. You must first register with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), which requires you to complete specific educational and training criteria.

My diploma pharamcy complete form india now I want to be on work visa on london
Having completed my pharmacy diploma in India, I'm now seeking a work visa in London. To achieve this, I need to secure a job offer from a licensed UK employer, apply for a visa online, attend a biometrics appointment, and collect my Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) upon arrival in the UK. It's important to ensure eligibility and accurate documentation throughout the process.
Can a Indian registered pharmacist work as a pharmacy assistant/dispenser without going through OSPAP and the registration route. And how we can find the job of Pharmacy Assistant and Dispenser.

You should check it with the UK officials but it's unlikely. You can look for a job through the websites that advertise job positions in the UK.

Hello,As I have done diploma in pharmaceutical science from India.I am registered pharmacist there.Now im in Wolverhampton UK.I am searching job as pharmacy assistant.Can i work here? On the Indian qualification
In the UK, if you hold a diploma in pharmaceutical science from India and are a registered pharmacist in India, you may not be eligible to work as a pharmacist in the UK without further qualifications and professional registration. To work as a pharmacist in the UK, you typically need to complete a degree in pharmacy (Master's degree) or an Overseas Pharmacists Assessment Programme (OSPAP), followed by pre-registration training and registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).
As a pharmacy assistant, you may find employment opportunities with your current qualifications, but if you wish to work as a fully qualified pharmacist in the UK, you will need to meet the UK's specific educational and professional requirements for the pharmacy profession.

I'm a pharmacist from Pakistan 🇵🇰 . I have a work permit of care taker in uk. How can i get a job as a trainee pharmacist in uk 🇬🇧.
To secure a job as a trainee pharmacist in the UK, you should start by registering with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). As a pharmacist from Pakistan, have your qualifications assessed by the GPhC. Once registered, your next step is to find a pre-registration training placement, usually available in community pharmacies or hospitals. During this one-year training period, you will work under the supervision of a registered pharmacist and prepare for the GPhC registration exam. After passing the exam and completing your training, you can apply for full registration as a pharmacist in the UK. At that point, you can start your job search for pharmacist positions across various healthcare settings. While progressing through this process, be sure to maintain compliance with your immigration status and any visa requirements, particularly if you need to switch from your current care taker role to a pharmacist position. Consulting with the GPhC and UK immigration authorities can provide further guidance in your journey.

After completing D.Pharm in India, the chances of getting a job and salary in the UK as a pharmacist depend on various factors such as the demand for pharmacists, your qualifications, work experience, and the specific requirements of the UK healthcare system.
Hello sir i am from India i yave 16 years of experience amd strong knowledge in R&D.. i am trying to come..met some consultancies also.. if anyone ready to give visa please tell me. It will help to me thankyou.
To immigrate and work in the UK as a pharmacist with your experience in R&D from India, you will need to secure a job offer from a UK employer who can sponsor your work visa. The usual route is through the Skilled Worker visa, for which the employer needs to be approved by the UK government to sponsor such visas. It's important to ensure that your qualifications are recognized in the UK, and you may need to pass an equivalency examination or fulfill additional requirements set by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). Networking, applying directly to pharmaceutical companies or research institutions in the UK, and using professional job platforms are effective ways to find potential job opportunities. Engaging with legitimate and reputable recruitment agencies specialized in healthcare can also be beneficial. Avoid relying solely on consultancies without verifying their credibility and track record in successfully placing candidates in the UK.
