The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) is the independent regulator for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy premises in Great Britain. Its core remit is public protection: ensuring that people using pharmacy services receive safe and effective care by setting standards for entry to and continuation on its professional register, and by inspecting pharmacies to verify ongoing compliance. The council acts to uphold public confidence when concerns arise about a pharmacist or a pharmacy, while promoting professionalism and continuous improvement across the sector. 

Based in London, England, the GPhC maintains a workforce described in general terms as sizeable, with a focus on creating an environment where staff can work safely and effectively. Its work encompasses regulation, quality assurance, and standards development intended to assure the quality and safety of pharmacy services available to the public. A notable recent development is the appointment of Chris Askew as interim chief executive and registrar in September 2025, signaling leadership changes during the regulator’s ongoing activities.
