Gphc Health

I want to know the Medical Examination in General Pharmaceutical Council GPhC for Health so can you please tell me?

The GPhC Health section provides information for pharmacy professionals about health assessments.

The GPhC may need to conduct a health assessment if the information they receive about a pharmacy professional's health indicates that their fitness to practise may be impaired.

Medical Examination

In certain cases they may require a pharmacy professional to attend a medical examination.

This medical examination will be carried out by a medical assessor nominated by the GPhC.

The purpose of the medical examination is to obtain further information regarding your health situation and an opinion from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional as to whether the physical or mental health condition could impair your fitness to practise.

The GPhc will write to you to request that you provide consent to be medically examined, as well as details of your GP and any other treating doctors.

The GPhC will pay the costs of the medical examination, and the costs of obtaining copies of medical records.

The GPhC will forward medical records, and any other relevant information, to the medical assessor who will carry out the medical examination.

These records are treated confidentially and will be destroyed when the matter has been finalised.
