Hi, is it possible to get a job during the OSPAP study that can cater for the 1 year tuition fee?

@Fashstyleliv 3 месяца назад

To be honest, i don’t think so but it is not impossible. On a student visa, you can only work 20 hours per week during term time and the OSPAP year is quite a stressful year to combine both work and study. I am sure people have somehow managed to do it but I have no idea what kind of job. I am sorry I have not been able to help you.

@aanchal..tasnim3907 Год назад

I’m from Bangladesh and my grades are quite low. Is there any chance to get rejected from gphc because of my low grades?? Eagerly waiting for your reply please!!

@Fashstyleliv Год назад

Hello and thanks for your message. Sorry for the late reply. I don’t know entirely what the GPHC look at but if you are already qualified as a pharmacist in your country and your university’s degree is comparable to UK standards and you meet other criteria that GPHC ask for, I don’t think you will be rejected. It is worth trying or you can get in touch with GPHC and ask. They do reply to emails. Good luck!!

I'm going to marry someone who is a resident of the UK, so I have to do Ielts or not. And what will be the process if I apply after reaching the UK. I am currently studying in PharmD 6th year.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Yes, you have to do IELTS unless your pharmacy degree was in the list of countries exempted on the GPHC website. If unsure, you can email GPHC. Generally, people whose pharmacy degree are from many countries in Asia and Africa will have to take IELTS or OET. It’s still same process after you reach UK, just ensure you have contacted any organisation in your home country who will issue any documents that you may need for your application.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Hello, I am afraid you can’t some on a visit visa for the OSPAP. You can come for OSPAP on a student visa, Dependant visa or any other visa (I don’t know all the visas) but not on a visit visa. I hope it works well for you.

Hello maam I'm registered pharmacist in my country want to become a registered pharmacist in uk can you please tell that iam right or wrong first step gphc application approval for ospap then 2yrs ospap degree then 2nd step pre-registration and 3rd step gphc exam please look forward this doubt

@Fashstyleliv 3 месяца назад

Hello and thank you for your comment. The length of time if everything goes well to become a UK registered pharmacist if everything goes well is 2 years. The first year is for OSPAP and the 2nd year is the pre-registration period and before the end of the 2nd year, you write the final assessment exam. If you pass, it will only take 2 years but if you don’t pass, it can take longer. Hope this makes sense.

@emmanuelosamor2046 3 месяца назад

Please is it a must to write the IELTS before registering for the GPHC?

@Fashstyleliv 3 месяца назад

Yes it is. They usually will only open a file for you after you have passed the exam. Remember to select that a copy of your IELTS is sent directly to GPHC when you register for the examZ good luck.

hello mam will this all be done on student visa and from our home country ? and like what is exactly a ospap and i completed my bpharm so do i need to do mpharm or i can directly go with this pls reply mam

@Fashstyleliv Год назад

Yes indeed. You have to complete the process with GPHC first before you will be allowed to apply to the universities. You don’t need a student visa to complete the GPHC process but you need one to enroll on the actual OSPAP course. If you have B.Pharm, you can move into OSPAP

@fejiroegho8756 2 года назад

Hello, please what do you mean by certified copy.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Hello and thanks for watching. By certified, I mean the original document has to be taken to a recognised lawyer or solicitor in your country and a photocopy of the original document is made in their presence and the lawyer/solicitor signs and writes a date to say they have seen the original document. GPHC also has specified wording that they want the solicitorlawyer to use. You usually would pay a small fee for the service to the lawyer/solicitor.

@richapatel9704 2 года назад

@olumideoloyi6880 7 месяцев назад

Hi pharm, thank you for this insightful video. Please, you made mention that Gphc might not approve an application because they might feel the candidate is not eligible in some instances. Taking cognizance of that, I wanted to ask, that does the duration of years practicing as a pharmacist post internship in the candidate’s home country matter in the deliberations ? In other words, can a candidate who just finished internship and has obtained his permanent license in his home country apply to Gphc and not get rejected ? And what are the things that can cause a reject for a candidate ? Thank you.

@Fashstyleliv 3 месяца назад

Hello and thanks for your message. No one really knows the criteria that GPHC use but I believe they compare that the university you obtained your pharmacy degree is comparable to the UK standard. Don’t focus on them rejecting you; be positive and submit all the required docs and I am sure you will be approved God willing. Good luck.

@Fashstyleliv 3 месяца назад

Also as far as you can get a letter of good standing from PCN, then it does not matter if you are not yet registered with them. Hope this makes sense.

@blessingudeh7923 2 года назад

Hello please i need to find out how long you can stay without praticing, because i have been in the Uk for 5 yrs without practicing pharmacy will it affect my application though i practiced for like 5yrs before i came to the Uk and how will they find out i haven't practiced for that long. Thank you.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

I think you should be fine. I had around that same amount of years without practicing and my application was fine. You will just need to study hard to refresh your practice. Good luck!

@ANAsalone389 Год назад

Can you recommend any part time job that we can easily get

@Fashstyleliv 3 месяца назад

It’s quite tricky these days because of the influx of many students but you can check within the universities, with local pharmacies or stores. It all depends on what skills you have. On a student visa, you can only work for 20 hours in a week during term time.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Hello and thanks for your message. I don’t think the gap matters too much but you need to give a good reason in your application to the GPHC as to why you don’t have any work experience. Well done on passing the IELTS. It is up to the GPHC to decide on approval and they would usually provide a favourable response if you meet all the requirements which they have stated on their website which include a statement of comparability of your Pharm D against the UK MPharm, provision of a letter of good standing from your pharmacist council in your home country, etc. Do check on the GPHC website for the entire list of documents required. Good luck.

Please, I'm already in the UK. Is it possible for me start the programme with a 9 months old baby?

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

I think it is relative and down to each individual. I personally won’t do it because OSPAP is quite intense and having a young baby is even more intense. Maybe wait until baby is a little older but again it is all up to you. I am sure some women can. I have done OSPAP and have a 1 year old but defo not at the same time.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Hello and thanks for watching. I am glad you found my videos useful. It is usually the Pharmacist Council in your home country that writes the letter of good standing and they send it directly to GPHC so you should not bother with the content because I am sure they know what to write. The GPHC has some specific information that they require on the letter of good standing and this can be found on their website (on the OSPAP guide/FAQ and application form).

@kbell7733 Год назад

I’m so grateful that I came across your channel, it’s really really helpful!! Thank you so much. I have a question here: The website of GphC says “All courses starting in 2023 and 2024 are already oversubscribed, due to high demand and applications carried over from last year. This means that you are unlikely to be able to find a place to study during this time.” Does this mean I don’t have the opportunity to study ospap this and also the next September?😢 when should I submit my documents to them? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much.

@Fashstyleliv 3 месяца назад

Hello and thank you so much for your message and huge apologies for the late response. It appears that is the case but do keep an eye on the GPHC website to be updated on the latest developments. You can also email them directly with any specific queries. They will be best placed to provide the right guidance.

@sarahzakir2499 3 года назад

What if you are not able to provide the letter of good standing because you are a fresh graduate? Will GPhC still consider it

@Fashstyleliv 3 года назад

Thanks for watching. I believe the letter of good standing is an essential requirement for the GPHC adjudication. If you are a fresh graduate but eligible to register (even though you are not yet registered), I believe your country's pharmaceutical coiuncil should be able to provide a letter to that effect. Other than that, it may be difficult. I think you may want to enquire from GPHC if you are still unable to obtain a letter of good standing. I hope this helps.

@vickysvoice7312 2 года назад

I schooled in Nigeria but moved to Ghana and took their licensing exam to be licensed here, my question is since I didn’t write the licensing exam in Nigeria(I am not registered in Nigeria as a pharmacist but in ghana), Do I still get my letter of good standing from the council in Nigeria since that’s where I schooled

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

That’s interesting. I believe you will need the letter of good standing from Nigeria’s PCN because that’s where you obtained your pharmacy degree. You can also submit (in addition) the Ghanian one because I believe there’s a section of the form (do double check though) that may ask if you are also licensed as a pharmacist elsewhere. The best way to clarify might be to email the GPHC international applications. Good luck!

When you finish and pass your M.Sc OSPAP, you can apply for either the Post Study Work visa which is valid for 2 years (you don’t need an employer to sponsor you) or you can apply for a Skilled Worker visa which is Tier 2 (you need an employer to sponsor you). Check the gov uk website for the above visas and read the guidance to help you.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

I don’t think any course is easy but if you want a straightforward and easy way to work as a pharmacist in the UK, then OSPAP is the way. I am not sure about job prospects when you complete a Clinical Pharmacy Practice course. The Clinical Pharmacy M.Sc does not allow you to practice as a pharmacist in the UK; the only way to work as a pharmacist in the UK is through OSPAP.

Are pgdip ospap students eligible for post study work visa?

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

In the past they were not because the UK visa rules says for you to be eligible for a post study visa, your course has to be at degree level and the OSPAP PGDIp is only at Diploma level. Of course, there is the M.Sc. So the answer is I don't know. We can only wait and see if anyone who has done PGDip OSPAP has been able to secure a post study visa.

Hello, maam. Hope you are okay. I have a doubt on my mind. I have completed bachelor of Pharmacy from Bangladesh. I'm a registerd pharmacist there. But i don't have any experience. Currently, I am doing MSC in applied public health in UK. Course was 2 years. It will finish this April. I have visa till August. Can i apply for OSPAP diploma course? Will they provide visa to me for course? How does it work actually? Or i have to take PSW for the course?. Looking forward to your answer.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Hello and thanks for watching. I think it all depends on you. You can apply for either an extension of a student visa (you can check the go uk website) or you can apply for PSW and complete OSPAP but again you need to check the rules to make sure you are not breaching any immigration rules. It all depends on your finances. If finances were not an issue, I would say extend your student visa to cover OSPAP (choose the M.Sc to be on the safe side so you can apply for PSW afterwards. Some people say you can get PSW with OSPAP Diploma but I doubt that. Only time will tell). After the OSPAP, you get the PSW to cover pre-reg and one extra year when you become a registered UK pharmacist before moving to the skilled worker visa. Or after OSPAP, you could switch to a skilled worker visa if you get a sponsor. Good luck.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Hello and thanks for watching. I am glad you enjoyed my videos. OSPAP is the name of the course that is part of the 2 year (and 3 step process) of becoming a UK pharmacist. GPHC is the UK pharmacy regulation body. I am not sure if you need the English exam or not. The best thing will be to contact the GPHC for this as well as questions on how to become a UK pharmacist since you are from a European country. I know in the past, people did not have to do OSPAP if their pharmacy degree was from an EEA country.

Very informative thank you but I have a question How can a non-eea with eea qualifications apply to the gphc.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Thanks for watching. It all depends on various factors. Are you licensed to work as a pharmacist in the EEA country? If so, I will recommend getting in touch with GPHC and they will provide a clear direction on what you need to do. If you are not licensed to work in the EEA country as a pharmacist, I am afraid you may need to do the OSPAP. To clear any doubts, I strongly recommend getting in touch with the GPHC.

Is there any problem if I have a gap I had passed Msc pharmaceutical science on 2017 , am I eligible now to do oscap course?

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

A short gap is fine as long as you can explain what happened in those gaps in your application to the GPHC.

@mariumdanish5712 2 года назад

How much study gap is acceptable in ospap ? If the gap is more than 10 years then what is the requirement when applying for ospap

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

I think the requirement is the same but I know some universities do not accept a long year study gap. When applying to GPHC for eligibility to do OSPAP, make sure you clearly state why you have any gaps. I had a 7 year gap from when I did pharmacy to doing OSPAP but in between those years I obtained an M.Sc and worked in various organisations so I included all of this in my application. Good luck.

I have graduated in October last year and I don't have work experience ,would the OSPAP be hard for me ?And can I apply with work experience?

@Fashstyleliv 3 года назад

Hello, it’s hard to say how difficult or easy OSPAP will be for anyone because people are different. If you work hard and focus, you would pass the OSPAP. Yes, you can apply without work experience and if you do have any gaps in between, then just put an explanation for it.

Hello, you mentioned writing the IELTS exam in one sitting with at least a score of 7 in all aspect. What if I don't get the required scores in my first sitting? Does it mean it is over? I can't try again? I can't write again to get the required scores for application? Please I need your response. Thank you

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Hello and thanks for watching. You can write the IELTS exams as many times it takes for you to get a minimum of 7 across all aspects and an overall minimum score of 7. In one sitting means, you can’t combine two different IELTS results. Hope that’s clearer. Good luck.

Thanks so much for this video. I am still a bit confused. For a pharmacist and mother of 4 kids planning to relocate to Uk. What is my best option; start application for OSPAP and strive hard to pass or apply to study a different msc program in Uk. Use my student visa to come with my dependents?

@Fashstyleliv 3 года назад

Hello and thanks for watching. I think it depends on what you want to achieve and your personal circumstances. If you are looking to relocate to the UK and live here and work as a pharmacist, then your best option is the OSPAP. Studying a different M.Sc programme has its advantages but will not avail you the opportunity to become a UK pharmacist as the only way to do that is via OSPAP regardless of the M.Sc you undertake. You can use your student visa to bring your dependants but I am guessing you are okay with the costs. It can be quite expensive and unless you have family in the UK or help to keep an eye on your kids, it can be challenging. If your kids are all above 5 then that may be easier but if any are under 5, you would have to pay for childcare costs and they could be quite steep depending on where you live. Are you coming with your partner/hubby? If so, looking after 4 kids may be manageable. It is not an easy decision to make but best to explore all angles. Good luck!!

If I do b pharm in India and after if I complete m pharm in uk in any University . Will I get licence as pharmacist or else I have to do ospap again

@Fashstyleliv 3 года назад

M.Pharm in the UK is about 4 years or so. I am not sure how long it will take if you already have a B.Pharm from India and want to commence M.Pharm in the UK. If you do complete a UK Mpharm, you don’t need to do OSPAP however I do believe the OSPAP will take a shorter time than Mpharm. After an MPharm, you still have to complete pre-reg and write the final GPHC exam before you are licensed as a UK pharmacist.

@gopaladhao8929 3 года назад

Ospap msc course is 180 credit if students unable to get this 180 credit then student can not get the ( psw)???

@Fashstyleliv 3 года назад

Yes, if a student fails the ospap, they can’t get the psw or do pre-reg. They can repeat the module they failed or resit an exam. In some cases, depending on how badly they failed, they may not have the option of repeating or resitting. It still causes a lot of delay which is why it is very important to prepare well and work hard.

@Fashstyleliv 3 года назад

Hello and thanks for your questions. I don't think they particularly look at the grade (I mean the GPHC when it comes to approving your application to apply to the universities for OSPAP). As far as you are a registered pharmacist in your country and meet all the other requirements, then that should be fine. I know some universities may require a certain grade so you may want to check the universities to see what their other requirements are.

Thanks for watching and I wish you all the best with your IELTS results. On the GPHC website, they say the latest they would receive your documents is July each year but I will encourage you to do it sooner so you can have time to amend any issues, get your admission into Uni and apply for your visa without feeling rushed. Hope it all works out well for you.

@Fashstyleliv 3 года назад

Hello, if you already have IELTS which is still within the 2 years limit, I believe they will accept it but always double check. If you don't have IELTS at all, I am afraid you still have to write it even if you have an M.Sc from the UK. There is a list of exemptions from IELTS on the GPHC website which you can check out to see if you meet the criteria. GPHC is also accepting OET so that may be another option. Good luck.

@sadgimehta8764 3 года назад

thanks for this Insightful video! I want to ask about the acceptance rate for OSPAP in uk universities if approved by GPHC ?

@Fashstyleliv 3 года назад

Thanks for watching. I am not sure what the acceptance rate is and I believe the GPHC and the universities alone will have that information. From experience, I know more than a handful of people who have done the OSPAP programme from various countries and I have never heard of anyone rejected by any university especially after the GPHC approval because once the GPHC approves you, it means you have met several requirements. Of course, some universities usually have other requirements but I think once you go on their website and meet these requirements, it would be difficult for them to reject you. I know Brighton usually makes students pass their Calculation test prior to an unconditional offer (I don't know if they still do it) and if you don't pass this calculation test, they won't provide an unconditional offer. Generally, I think once you meet the GPHC and the universities' requirements, it would be a straightforward process. Good luck.

Do you intend to work as a pharmacist? If Yes, you need to do OSPAP. If you don’t want to work as a pharmacist but you just want an M.Sc in clinical pharmacy, then you can apply to the schools directly but you still won’t be able to practice as a UK pharmacist until you pass the OSPAP process.

Hello and thanks for your message. You will have to complete the pharmacy technician training with a community pharmacy or hospital that would be prepared to employ and supervise you. You also need to register with the GPHC. You can check their website as they do have information on how to achieve this. The process is less difficult than OSPAP but may not pay as well as a pharmacist.

You need to either be registered in the country that you qualified in or be eligible to register in that country. The most important thing is that the pharmacist council in your country must be willing to provide a letter of good standing for you because it is required for the GPHC application/adjudication process before you commence the OSPAP. Hope that is clear.

@Fashstyleliv 2 года назад

Hello and thanks. See my response below: 1. You can watch the videos on my playlist as it talks about it or check the GPHC website as they have a detailed process on there. 2. PG Dip and M.Sc OSPAP are basically the same except PG Dip is shorter, does not have a project attached to it and costs less. 3. I have a video on this but you can also check GPHC website. universities that offer it- Aston University, University of Brighton, University of Sunderland, University of Hertfordshire. 4. The UK Pharmacist council (GPHC) have to approve your application before you can apply to the OSPAP universities. I have a video on this or check the GPHC website on the documents required 5. See above. 6. I believe there is a good demand for pharmacists but that’s my opinion. Salaries differ depending on what sector you work in- community, GP practice, Industry and hospital all pay differently. 7. OSPAP is great if you want to work as a pharmacist in UK.

If you need a UK student visa for the OSPAP, you are better off selecting the M.Sc version as you are able to switch (in country) to either a post study visa (also known as Graduate visa) or Tier 2 visa whereas the Diploma does not allow you do this.

@Fashstyleliv 3 года назад

Hello and thanks for watching. As far as I know it should not be a problem but it is always best to find out from the GPHC in case they have changed anything recently. I think some universities who offer OSPAP would like to see evidence of continous practice if you have an academic gap so, for example, if you graduated 6 years ago or more but you have been working as a pharmacist all through those years, then it should be fine. I hope this makes sense.

It all differs depending on the module and university. It may be more useful to check the individual university website for pass marks.

It is all different for various universities.

Yes you do need to complete the OSPAP M.Sc if you need a student visa to study in the UK. If you have another type of visa e.g.spouse visa, etc. then you can do the OSPAP Pg Dip. If your pharmacy degree is from a non-EEA country, you need to complete the OSPAP if you want to practice as a UK pharmacist.
