Dear pharmacist, you have two options: japa to the UK through OSPAP or open your own pharmacy.

Likeeeee , I've always wondered anytime I hear this dominating stuff . Down to OSPAP , its like 90 percent india guys and Pakistani. Even in canada that they say we have dominated, I can bet you would see 3 India peeps before you even meet a true Canadian 🤣

✔️Nigeria 🇳🇬 Pharmacists' Pathway to UK 🇬🇧 Licensure GPhC OSPAP Route · For Non-EEA Qualified Pharmacists 1. GPhC Adjudication — Eligibility Check: Apply to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) for eligibility assessment. Submit your degree, transcripts, and PCN registration. Processing fee: ~£687. Allow up to 2 months for a decision. 2. English Language Proficiency: IELTS Academic minimum 7.0 (no band below 7.0), OET Grade B, or TOEFL iBT. Nigerian graduates educated entirely in English may qualify for an exemption — confirm with GPhC first. 3. OSPAP — Overseas Pharmacists Assessment Programme: Enrol in a 1-year full-time GPhC-accredited OSPAP postgraduate diploma at a UK university. Covers NHS systems, UK medicines law, clinical pharmacy, and professional standards. Campus-based — attendance is compulsory. Fees: approximately £11,700–£16,000. 4. Apply for Foundation Training via ORIEL: While on OSPAP, apply simultaneously for your 52-week foundation training placement via the ORIEL national scheme. Applications open May/June — missing this deadline means waiting another year. Apply early! 5. UK Visa & Right to Work: GPhC registration does NOT grant right to work. Enter on a Student Visa for OSPAP, then transition to a Skilled Worker Visa. Pharmacy is on the UK's Shortage Occupation List — reducing visa costs and easing employer sponsorship. 6. 52-Week Foundation Training: Complete supervised foundation training in England, Scotland, or Wales under a designated supervisor. Your supervisor must sign off training as satisfactory before you proceed. 7. GPhC Common Registration Assessment: Pass the same computer-based MCQ exam UK graduates sit, including a pharmaceutical calculations section.

The most important info is the 15,000 GBP Ospap tuition excluding other processing fees 😜

1. Ielts minimum 7 in all four 2. School certificate 3. Copy of transcript 1. Register with ecctis (search on Google) Send copy of 2 and 3 to them for statement of comparability 2. Go to gphc website and download application form for Ospap. That’s the beginning Get in touch with me if you need more clarifications.

This is a valid post. The older population in the UK is on the rise which means there will be lots of mobility/Stroke cases. physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy (Msc) would grant you easy COS. For pharmacist (Ospap Pgdip) would be enough.

In a powerful account published by #ThePJ, #RafiaJamil shares her journey as an "overseas pharmacist" and how her experience of equality, diversity and inclusion within pharmacy has been complex but hopeful @rpharms #OSPAP #diversity #inclusion pharmaceutical-journal.com/a…

Hello sorry to disturb you, if someone had the money and considering would it be better to do ospap for uk, or go through the pebc evaluation and exam for Canada PR. Heard the whole process to get licensed in Canada is quite tedious.

OSAN - Odbyt strojů a nářadí Ospap - Odbytové sdružení papírenského průmyslu Drutěva - Družstvo tělesně vadných

Wouldn't it have made more sense to just finish and then do the OSPAP. Mpharm cost for 4 years no be here

I don’t think it is about gatekeeping. The JAPA process is more intensive for us Nigerian pharmacists (we undergo the heaviest academic re-assessment of all Pharms, doctors, and nurses). This is because, unlike the human body or caregiving practices, there are wider regulatory and professional differences between countries regarding medications. I am talking about handling, drug laws, and scope of practice. Because of the differences, we Nigerian pharmacists cannot easily transfer our qualifications and professional experience to the intended country. For example, in the UK, Nigerian pharmacists face demanding requirements. We must prove our education, scope, and practice standards. We must even write OSPAP because the Nigerian pharmacy degree is not recognized. The US route is even more complex. Another thing is that many pharmacists will say that the total cost of the entire process (licensing exams, certifications, verification, and relocation) is high. If they invested that same amount in Nigeria, they could establish a well-structured pharmacy and achieve financial stability. Nevertheless, these relocation routes are still available and “pursueable.”

Pharmacists in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, India, Pakistan If you are thinking about migrating to the United Kingdom, there’s no need to waste your money in doing a normal masters like public health, drug discovery, supply chain etc and struggling to get a sponsored job afterwards. Except it’s a fully funded scholarship, it’s a waste of resources. That 13-15k£ use it to apply for ospap, there are more than available seats now , just write that ielts academic with band 7 minimum in LRWS, apply to Gphc and get your eligibility letter for onward application to the universities. You can do all these within 2-3 months and still meet up next year. Upon successful completion of the course, you’re going straight to internship with pay of £28k average with visa 💯sure as well. Within two years, you’ll pay off that loan comfortably, there are opportunities. Selah

40M ospap? 😂

sister passed her OSPAP exam THANK GOD

Who tell you say I’m rich?😭😭😭. Anyways, 1. Follow @SirJarus @AskMichaelTaiwo @Chima_Chymes Study how they were intentional about their future right from uni. Don’t make the mistake of thinking everything will fall into place when you graduate. No. Do you want to go into production, hospital, community practice or you want to do Ospap. Start planning from undergrads days. Shift marriage and child bearing until your feet is solidly in your career. Children will take your time and money. Plenty money. While doing my internship, I met Chibundu, a professional colleague. He said he won’t think of marriage until he has at least 1m in his bank account. I asked him if bride price is that high. He said it’s for nothing to do with bride price. He said,’raising a family is a capital intensive project’ That was year 2,001. I didn’t understand him then but I learnt the hard way later. Read Proverbs 24:27 You will succeed

I never do Ospap😩😩

I know. They are planning on merging training year and the ospap program into one. God knows I can’t get 30m in this Nigeria. So when they merge it, meaning I can pay half my tuition and pay the rest as I earn during the training, then I might give it a go

Lol, y’all must argue over everything. It’s only in UK that you have to do OSPAP to practice as a pharmacist, in Canada and USA, all you do is write their qualifying exams to get your practicing license just like Medicine. Always do extensive research before commenting.
