GPhC November 2026 Results: When They Arrive and What to Do Next

If you are sitting the Common Registration Assessment on 10 November, results day is Wednesday 16 December 2026. Some things are worth doing before then, especially if you want to join the register in January.

When and how results arrive

The GPhC releases results on the morning of Wednesday 16 December 2026, through myGPhC. You will get a notification to check your account, by whichever method you chose when you signed up to myGPhC.

Results are not sent by post, and the GPhC will not give or confirm them by phone or email. If you cannot see your result in myGPhC, the GPhC asks you to contact it by 12pm on 0203 713 8000 or at regexam@pharmacyregulation.org.

Trainees following the Pharmaceutical Society NI's training programme get their results from the Society.

What your result shows

Your result includes the pass mark for Part 1 and for Part 2, your own mark for each part, and your overall outcome. To pass, you need to reach the pass mark in both parts at the same sitting. The pass mark is set for each sitting, so it is not known in advance; we explain why in how the GPhC assessment is marked.

The GPhC does not remark papers.

Want to register in January? Apply before results day

The GPhC adds new entries to the register on the 1st and 15th of each month. For candidates sitting in November:

To register on 1 January 2027, the GPhC must receive your complete and correct application by 3 December 2026, before results are out.
To register on 15 January 2027, it must receive your application by 17 December 2026.

You also cannot be registered until your statutory education body confirms you have completed your foundation training, so check with them when they will send that confirmation. You will not be able to join the register if you do not pass the assessment, if completion of your training has not been confirmed, or if there is an issue with your fitness to practise. The GPhC notes that the application fee is charged even if the application does not succeed, so read its registration guidance before applying.

If you do not pass

It is a hard day, and it is worth giving yourself time before you plan anything. Then:

Read the GPhC's guide for unsuccessful candidates, which it makes available with the results.
Look at your marks by part. You will see which part fell short and by how much. That is the starting point for a resit plan.
Know your attempts. The assessment can be sat at most three times, within the time limit for applying to register. Marks are not carried forward.
Know the next sitting. It is on Tuesday 15 June 2027, with results on Tuesday 20 July 2027. The deadline for reasonable adjustment requests for that sitting is 17:00 on Wednesday 17 February 2027. Check your eligibility and the application dates on the GPhC's sitting page as they are published.

There is more on how to approach it in resitting the GPhC assessment. A resit is far from hopeless: in November 2025, 68% of candidates on their second attempt passed.

Appeals

You have the right to appeal a result, but appeals have strict criteria, set out in the GPhC's withdrawal, nullification and appeal guide. The GPhC will not consider an appeal based on not knowing how to use the assessment system, so practise with its free example questions beforehand. Things that went wrong on the day are normally handled by a nullification request, which for this sitting has to be made by 17:00 on Thursday 12 November 2026, well before results.

Support

The independent charity Pharmacist Support offers free, confidential support for trainee pharmacists around results, wellbeing and money worries. It is there whether you pass or not.

Before then: make the most of the next three weeks

If results day is still ahead of you, the most useful thing you can do now is sit a full paper under the real timings and see where your marks are. Our three-week revision plan sets out how, our GPhC mock papers follow the 2026 format, and there are ten free GPhC practice questions to try first.
