DBS Checks For Pharmacies
Do you work in the pharmaceutical industry, or maybe you’re considering your next medical role? If so, you may be required to undertake a DBS check. An enhanced DBS check is obligatory for anyone working in close contact with children or vulnerable adults. This includes anyone who is responsible for administering the COVID-19 vaccine to those under 18 years of age.

Enhanced DBS Checks For Pharmacy Workers
Every healthcare professional requires the correct level of DBS check for their particular role, including those that work in a pharmacy. Individuals who provide care for children or vulnerable adults, including pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, need an Enhanced DBS check. This includes a check of the barred lists for the appropriate groups.
An Enhanced DBS check is the most in-depth criminal record check available in the UK. It discloses all spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings that an individual may have amassed.

Which Pharmacy Workers Need A DBS Check?
The responsibilities and job specifications of any given role determine the required level of DBS check, or whether it is required at all. So a role in which the individual has no or very little interaction with children or vulnerable adults would not require this level of check. A pharmaceutical delivery driver, for instance, would not be in need of an enhanced DBS check (though they may need a basic DBS check). Here are the pharmaceutical roles that necessitate an enhanced DBS check:
- Pharmacists
- Chemists
- Pharmacy assistants
- Pharmacy technicians
- Pharmacy dispensers

Frequently Asked Questions About DBS Checks For Pharmacy Workers
Do you want to know more about pharmacy worker DBS checks? Here are the most frequently asked questions we get about checks in this industry:
Why Choose DBS Checks Online For Your Pharmacy Worker DBS Check?
We’re a leading umbrella body for the Disclosure and Barring Service and can advise and assist with legislation. In addition to this, all applications, checks, certificates and storage are carried out online, making the process speedy and simple. In many cases, we can carry out and return checks on the same day.
What Is An Enhanced DBS Check?
Enhanced DBS Checks (also known as Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service Checks, and previously known as Enhanced CRB Checks) are the highest level of DBS checks available and are generally required for positions that involve working with vulnerable groups, such as children, or vulnerable adults and the elderly
Do Any Pharmaceutical Delivery Drivers Require An Enhanced DBS Check?
If your driver is delivering controlled drugs, they may need a high-level DBS check. Get in contact with us to find out if your driver qualifies for this check.
Do Dispensers And Assistants Need A DBS Check?
Any assistant or dispenser that advises children or vulnerable adults on their healthcare three times or more in 30 days is eligible for an Enhanced DBS check. This is also applicable to supervisors of those who advise.
Do Other Pharmacy Workers Require A DBS Check?
If the pharmacy worker comes into regular contact with people receiving healthcare or supervises someone that does but doesn’t work with children or vulnerable adults, they may have a Standard DBS check.
Do Pharmacy Workers Need A Dbs Check To Administer The Covid-19 Vaccine?
Yes. Since the extension of the covid-19 vaccine rollout to under 18s, anyone tasked with administering the vaccine requires an Enhanced DBS check.
Can I Still Work In A Pharmacy If I Have A Criminal Record?
This will depend on the nature of your transgressions. Having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify you from a pharmaceutical role, and this decision is made on a case-to-case basis. A decision should be made based on whether the criminal record affects the applicant’s ability to keep others safe. Pharmacy workers, for example, will typically work with children. This means that a crime against a child would likely prevent a position from being offered.
