You need to register each foundation trainee pharmacist you are making a payment claim for, entering:

their name
their date of birth
their GPhC registration number
their training start date
their Designated Supervisor’s name
their Designated Supervisor’s GPhC registration number

Payments will be made monthly in arrears, with the first payment covering any months between the time the employer applies for the grant and the time the trainee began their training.
