The market entry process for distance selling pharmacies is closing on 23rd June 2025. Having been laid before parliament on the 2nd of June changes to the community pharmacy sector will come into force in 21 days.
If you want a distance selling pharmacy with an NHS contract the deadline is looming, you have until the 22nd June to submit your application before the entry process is closed to new applications.
At this time, Pharmacy Consulting does not have the capacity to take on any new applications before the deadline.
Additional regulatory changes will also be coming in to force and will be discussed in a subsequent blog.
