From 31 March 2026, all UK pharmacists must have received or submitted an Enhanced DBS check dated within the last three years, with ongoing checks required for new staff. This update aligns with the Pharmacy Quality Scheme (PQS) 2025/26, which encourages regular re-screening to ensure patient and staff safety.
Enhanced DBS checks provide a thorough background review, helping pharmacies confirm that staff in positions of trust are safe to work with patients. Even pharmacies not participating in the PQS are legally required to complete these checks for all pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
uCheck simplifies compliance with fast, affordable background screening, an intuitive portal for bulk checks and automated reminders, and dedicated expert support. With the 31 March deadline approaching, now is the time to ensure your pharmacy stays safe and fully compliant.
