They will gather all pills, labels, bottles and package it for the pharmacist. They will even gather the prescription, type it up and then later ring it up at the till. The pharmacist will check all elements to make sure the prescription if correct (uses his/her head). Some Pharmacy Technicians have Pharmacy Technician Certification (CPhT) which tests the technicians to basic skills required to work in the pharmacy.
