DSP (Distance selling premises) pharmacies will no longer be able to provide Directed services (Advanced, National Enhanced and Enhanced Services) face-to-face with patients at the pharmacy premises from today (1st October 2025).
DSP pharmacies will now only be able to provide Directed services remotely from the DSP premises, similar to the delivery of Essential services or if the service specification permits, face-to-face with the patient off-site.
In the below link are some FAQs provided by Community Pharmacy England, to support DSP pharmacy owners to understand what the change means for them:
