PART 4Registration

Registrants’ duties with regard to their entriesI128

1

The Council may make such provision in rules as it considers appropriate in connection with the information to be provided by registrants with regard to their entries in Part 1 or 2 of the Register (provided the rules are consistent with paragraph (2)) and may, in particular, make provision with regard to the obligations of a registrant (“R”) to inform the Registrar—

a

of the name under which R practises and of any changes to that name; and

b

of R’s home address and of any changes to it.

2

If the Registrar—

a

sends by first class post to R a notice addressed to R at R’s last known home address enquiring whether R has—

i

changed the name under which R practises,

ii

ceased to practise as a pharmacist or, as the case may be, a pharmacy technician and intends to apply under article 31 for voluntary removal from the Register, or

iii

changed home address,

and receives no reply within a period of one month beginning on the day of posting the notice; and

b

upon the expiration of that period sends to R a second similar notice and receives no reply within one month beginning on the day of posting the notice,

the Registrar may remove R’s entry from Part 1 or, as the case may be, Part 2 of the Register.

3

If a registrant entered in Part 1 or 2 of the Register fails to comply with rules made under paragraph (1), the Registrar may remove the entry of that registrant from that part of the Register.

4

Where the Registrar removes the entry of a person from a part of the Register pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3), the Registrar must send to that person at that person’s last known home address a statement in writing giving that person notice of the removal and the reasons for it and of the right of appeal to the Appeals Committee under article 40.
