As regulators of healthcare services, medicines and health professionals throughout the UK, we recognise the importance of encouraging innovation, improvement and sustainability in care, while ensuring that it meets fundamental standards of quality and safety. Online provision of health and care services challenges the existing regulatory landscape by transforming how care is delivered, where and by whom.
The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) is taking action after identifying significant patient safety concerns in relation to supply of high-risk medicines online These patient safety concerns were identified during recent pharmacy inspections which looked at whether online pharmacies were meeting the standards for registered pharmacies and following updated guidance published in April this year.
Analysis of over 14,000 inspection reports finds vast majority of pharmacies are meeting standards Members of the public will be able to find out for the first time if a pharmacy inspected by the pharmacy regulator has met all of the required standards.
