Important changes to how pharmacies manage their GPhC registration from June 2026

Pharmacies will see major changes to how they manage their premises registration from June 2026, as the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) retires the myGPhCpharmacy platform and moves all premises activity into myGPhC. The regulator says the change will streamline processes, strengthen security and introduce new digital features to support pharmacy owners.

From 18 June 2026, myGPhCpharmacy will close permanently. All registration tasks — including renewals, payments and managing delegate users — will instead be completed within myGPhC. The system will be offline between 18 and 24 June while the new premises section is added. The GPhC has confirmed that all existing functions will be available in the updated system, with improvements such as automated renewal reminders.

A key operational shift is the end of postal renewal notices. After July, all notices and reminders will be sent by email to every myGPhC user linked to the pharmacy owner. The final postal notices will be issued on 2 June for pharmacies renewing in July, and the first email notices will be sent on 3 July for August renewals.

Pharmacy owners are being asked to prepare ahead of the transition. Existing myGPhC accounts will continue to work, but owners will need to add new delegate users because current delegate accounts will not transfer. The GPhC is also advising owners to check and update their contact details and role information, download any payment receipts from myGPhCpharmacy before 18 June, and plan carefully for renewals due by 30 June, as the system will be unavailable for six days. Internal processes may also need updating to reflect the move to email-only notices.

The transition marks one of the most significant digital updates to GPhC premises regulation in recent years. Consolidating all registration activity into a single platform should reduce administrative burden and improve consistency, but pharmacies with renewals falling in June and July will need to prepare early to avoid disruption. The shift to digital-only notices also places greater responsibility on owners to ensure their contact details are accurate and that renewal processes are robust.
