Your Responsible Pharmacist stays on the premises for dispensing and supply. The remote pharmacist adds consultation capacity; they never replace your RP.

Your questions

Let’s make it clear.

The practical details, before you take the next step.

Is a remote pharmacist consultation allowed under NHS rules?

NHS services in England have different remote-delivery conditions. Pharmacy First permits suitable consultations by video, with premises requirements; NMS has specific off-site employment rules. Our proposed cross-site arrangements need service-specific confirmation. Read what the spec allows.

Do you replace our Responsible Pharmacist?

No. In our model your Responsible Pharmacist stays on the premises. Remote Pharmacist adds a consultation clinician; it does not replace your RP or provide remote supervision of dispensing.

Which Pharmacy First pathways can be delivered remotely?

Six of the seven (sinusitis, sore throat, infected insect bites, impetigo, shingles and uncomplicated UTIs) are suitable for good-quality video. Acute otitis media (earache) needs an otoscope and cannot be delivered by remote consultation alone.

Who delivers the consultations?

GPhC-registered, appropriately indemnified pharmacists, working to a documented safe-prescribing and convert-to-face-to-face protocol aligned with the GPhC February 2025 guidance for pharmacy services provided at a distance. See our clinical-safety approach.
