Where did you qualify?
This is your route. Places at the exam are limited and only secured once you pay.
Pharmacists with an EU qualification are usually recognised under EU rules – a different PSI route.
Qualifications from the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand go through the same third-country route.
