London Olympic Games<br />
For anyone taking the assessment in<br />
London, please take account of the<br />
Olympic Games, particularly if you are<br />
arranging travel and/or accommodation.<br />
While the sittings are either side of the<br />
Olympic Games, you may need to book<br />
your travel earlier than originally<br />
planned or even stay overnight, and<br />
accommodation may be more heavily<br />
booked than usual.<br />
Reference sources<br />
These two reference sources are<br />
permitted in the assessment hall for the<br />
afternoon open book paper only:<br />
1. British National Formulary, Edition 62<br />
(September 2011)<br />
2. GPhC standards of conduct, ethics<br />
and performance (September 2010)<br />
What you can bring<br />
into a venue<br />
You can store most of your belongings in<br />
the cloakrooms provided. Once you<br />
enter the assessment hall, you can only<br />
bring in the following items. We have<br />
compiled this list in co operation with<br />
the British <strong>Pharmaceutical</strong> Students’<br />
Association (BPSA):<br />
• water and non-fizzy drinks<br />
• sweets, if you have a cough<br />
• medications or other items, if you<br />
have a medical condition<br />
As well as these, you can have on<br />
your desk:<br />
• HB pencil (or softer shade)<br />
• pencil sharpener<br />
• pencil eraser<br />
• specific reference sources – open<br />
book only<br />
You cannot bring in anything else, and<br />
that includes sweets, fruit and fizzy drinks.<br />
