Dear Colleagues:
This is a reminder to make sure that you
are all aware that, as of January 1, 2010
ALL PHARMACY TECHNICIANS
MUST BE REGISTERED with the
Board of Pharmacy. The registration
process begins in October and goes
through December 31, 2009.
Beginning in January, any individual who
performs the duties of a pharmacy
technician MUST be registered with the
Board. Any individual NOT registered with
the Board may not practice as a
technician, nor can a pharmacist delegate
technician duties to that individual.
What can happen? If an inspector
observes a pharmacy technician in the
pharmacy, as demonstrated by the
required name tags, and then requests
registration information from that individual,
the pharmacist/pharmacy would be in
violation if the person is not registered.
For more information go to
http://www.doh.state.fl.us/MQA/pharmac
y/ph_lic_req.html
HAVE ALL OF YOUR
TECHNICIANS REGISTER.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO
EVERY PHARMACIST AND
TECHNICIAN YOU KNOW.

| Pharmacy Technician Registration |
Dear Members:
In case you have, are or know of any technicians
that have answered 'yes' to questions about
criminal charges or previous discipline on other
licenses, they will be required to appear before the
Board to petition for registration as a Pharmacy
Technician. Please be aware that the Board Staff
is going to try to schedule as many Tech board
appearances as possible for the December meeting
in Gainesville.
They are doing this because techs requiring Board
appearance will not get their registration unless they
are approved at an appearance.
Two things,
1. Techs should register as early as possible to
allow processing and time to get scheduled on the
December agenda (cut off is Nov 10th) if
necessary.
If the techs need to appear, they should plan on
attending the December meeting. Day and time to
be announced but it will be the week of the 7th.
2. Tech's will not be allowed to work January 1st
unless they are registered. So it's important they
plan ahead. Especially if they are ones that will
have to appear.(usually if they had to answer 'yes'
to questions about criminal charges or previous
discipline on other licenses etc)
The next Board meeting scheduled after
December Gainesville meeting at this point is not
until February 2010.
Please feel free to share this information.
In case you wanted more background on the
Technician Registration Law:
The Florida Department of Health (DOH) has
released information on their web site on technician
registration to meet the requirements of Senate Bill
1360 that passed during the 2008 legislative
session. Technicians wishing to register should be
able to do so now on-line. There is also a process
described on the web site for employers wishing to
register their technicians as a batch file. Employers
can create an "other payer code" account to
manage the registration process for their pharmacy
technicians.
