Paragraph 12 Annotations made to an entry in the RegisterI1
England, Wales and Scotland
Subject to the following paragraphs, a registrant entered in Part 1 or, as the case may be, Part 2 of the Register may apply to the Registrar to have an annotation in respect of a specialisation made to the registrant’s entry in the relevant part of the Register.
An application under this rule must be made to the Registrar using the relevant application form which must be in such form as the Council may from time to time determine.
The application form must, in particular—
require the applicant to—
provide the applicant’s full name, home address and contact details (including a telephone number and electronic mail address, where possible),
specify whether the application relates to an entry in Part 1 or Part 2 of the Register,
specify the number of the entry in the Register to which the application relates,
specify the type of specialisation which is to be the subject matter of the annotation,
provide evidence which is sufficient in the opinion of the Registrar to demonstrate that the applicant meets such standards of proficiency for the safe and effective practice of pharmacy as are set in rules under article 27(1)(e) of the Order, F1...
specify whether, if an annotation in respect of a specialisation were to be made to the applicant’s entry, there would be in force an indemnity arrangement which provides appropriate cover in relation to the applicant, and
provide any other necessary supporting documents, information or evidence as mentioned in the application form;
include a demand that the registrant pay the prescribed fee in respect of the application; and
require the applicant to sign and date the application.
The applicant must also provide such additional documents, information or evidence as the Registrar may reasonably require for the purposes of verifying the information in, or determining, the application.
Where the applicant is a person who has previously had an annotation in respect of a specialisation made to an entry in the Register, or part of the Register, the Registrar may dispense with any of the requirements under this rule for the applicant to provide such documents, information or evidence in support of the application as the Registrar may determine in the circumstances of the applicant’s case.
Where the Registrar grants an application under this rule that relates to an entry in Part 1, or as the case may be, Part 2 of the Register, the Registrar must ensure that an appropriate annotation is made to a registrant’s entry in that Part of the Register to denote the type of specialisation in respect of which the annotation to that entry is made.
The Registrar may not grant an application under this rule unless the Registrar is satisfied that the applicant meets the standards of proficiency referred to in paragraph (3)(a)(v).
The Registrar must refuse any application under this rule—
if it is not accompanied by the necessary supporting documents, information or evidence as mentioned in the application form or subsequently required by the Registrar; or
if the applicant has not paid, or has not made arrangements with the Registrar to pay by direct debit, the prescribed fee in respect of the application.
