GPhC / CRA syllabus & topics

The Common Registration Assessment framework is organised around outcomes and relevance to pharmacy practice, not a simple university-subject syllabus. It also identifies therapeutic areas, high-risk medicines, paediatrics and calculation types that may be assessed.

BLUEPRINT TO REVISION

What to study — and where the knowledge connects

These links open broad PharmaProLearn learning units. Use them to rebuild foundations, then return to the regulator's current blueprint or guidance for the exact scope expected in your examination.

Safe and effective clinical pharmacy care

Build the ability to assess patient information, recognise medicine-related risks, choose appropriate actions, counsel clearly and monitor therapy. Therapeutic knowledge matters most when you can apply it safely to the person in front of you.

Pharmacy and healthcare calculations

Keep calculation methods automatic enough that you can focus on the clinical meaning of the answer. Revise doses, concentrations, dilutions, infusion/rate problems, quantities and other calculation categories listed in the current framework/specification.

Professional practice, law, ethics and public health

The assessment is tied to safe UK pharmacy practice. Revise professional judgement, governance, legal/ethical responsibilities, public-health reasoning and the current guidance expected of a newly registering pharmacist.

TURN INFORMATION INTO A PLAN

How to use this in your preparation

  1. 01

    Use the current CRA framework/specification to identify high-relevance areas before allocating equal time to every topic.

  2. 02

    Practise Part 1 calculations continuously while using Part 2 cases to integrate therapeutics, risk and professional judgement.

  3. 03

    Check current UK guidance when revising practice decisions; old question banks can become misleading when guidance or law changes.

Current official guidance wins

PharmaProLearn unit pages strengthen underlying knowledge. The regulator's current framework and official UK clinical/professional guidance determine what is relevant to the assessment.
