 Siting Policy for Pharmacies
Dear Colleagues What is the legal or practice based requirement for licensing of pharmacies in the vicinity of an existing pharmacy. Are there any restrictions with reference to siting of a pharmacy? Naziruddin Ahsan Islamabad, Pakistan <nahsan55@yahoo.com>  |

Do you mean here in the UK ? The criteria used to be "necessary or desirable" but with all the changes in the NHS I'm not so sure any more. They don't allow pharmacies to "leap frog" over each other to get closer to the surgeries!

I think that the necessary and desirable criteria still stands unless you're going to open for 100 hrs (or more!) a week. I think there's some clause about shop size as well. Have just tried trawling the net for the new contract details but can't find them anywhere. I think they've been hidden so no-one realises that we've been screwed! :evil:
