As at 2018, there were 32 regulated healthcare occupations in the UK. Three of those - Pharmacy Technicians, Dental Nurses and Dental Technicians - require a minimum of a level 3 qualification on entry (using the levels based on the frameworks operating in England, Wales and Northern Ireland). One has a minimum of level 4 on entry, seven have a minimum of level 5, sixteen have a minimum of level 6 (equivalent to a bachelor's degree) and five have a minimum of level 7 (equivalent to a master's degree). 31 out of the 32 have a level 6 qualification available for entry to the occupation, with the role of Pharmacy Technician being the only exception, only having a level 3 qualification available for entry. Some individual pharmacy technicians may hold other qualifications higher than level 3 upon commencing training, or may gain such qualifications afterwards.
