key points.<br />

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 />

An online pass-list will be available on<br />

the GPhC website on:<br />

Friday 27 July 2012, for the June 2012<br />
