We are consulting on proposed changes to fees in 2025 and 2026.
We are proposing to introduce a two-year fee cycle from September 2025, which would mean that pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy owners would still pay a fee to register each year, but would know how much their annual fee would be for the next year as well. We are seeking views on this two-year fee cycle and on our proposal to increase annual registration fees by 6% in both 2025 and 2026.
The proposals would mean that from September 2025:
- Pharmacist renewal fees would increase by £17 to £293
- Pharmacy technician renewal fees would increase by £8 to £138
- Pharmacy premises renewal fees would increase by £24 to £416
From September 2026:
- Pharmacist renewal fees would increase by £17 to £310
- Pharmacy technician renewal fees would increase by £8 to £146
- Pharmacy premises renewal fees would increase by £25 to £441
