If you are a member of the Society or a registered pharmacy technician registration with the Library is free. Simply let us know that you wish to use the Library. We will then enter your details (name, address, registration number and preferred postal address being the minimum requirements) on our database and send to you our welcome pack of further information. If you wish you may download and complete a registration form (members form; technicians form).
If you are a pre-registration student registration with the Library is free. Please download and complete a registration form (there is also a form available in your handbook) and post it to us.
If you are a adjudicating student registration with the Library is free. Please download and complete a registration form. Then simply post this back to us with a copy of the letter that you have received from the Society acknowledging your application to register.
If you are an MPharm student registration with the Library is free. Please print out and complete the registration form and post it to us along with evidence of your MPharm status. A photocopy of your student card will suffice as long as it bears the name of your degree. If not, it will need to be supported by a second form of evidence, such as a course enrolment form.
If you are not a member of the Society or of any of the groups listed above, you may register with the Library, however there is a fee.
