The regulations require an applicant to link with the Health Board (HB) as part of pre-application process.  The applicant and officers from the HB normally arrange a meeting.  The HB officers provide help on regulation and process but they do not and cannot give a view on whether a proposal might be subsequently approved. Existing pharmacies may also need to follow the same process when looking to relocate to different premises.

Before the meeting, the applicant provides details about the proposed pharmacy address, services to be provided and opening hours, which allows discussion on how a new pharmacy in the area might address any unmet needs or improve local patient services.

This discussion is to help the applicant to decide whether to move forward with their proposal. If their decision is to move forward, another meeting is arranged to discuss the Joint Consultation exercise.

The joint public consultation exercise is led by the Health Board (HB) working with the applicant.  It invites the views of residents and other interested people and organisations within the area where the proposed premises are located and measures their support for the opening of a new pharmacy at this address.

The exercise must invite views on the following issues:

  • The pharmacy services the applicant wants to provide;
  • Views about gaps  in the current pharmacy services available;
  • How the new pharmacy might impact on current NHS services within the identified local area;
  • The level of support (or not) for the application.

New pharmacy consultations must be advertised in the newspaper with the highest circulation within the local area.

Where an existing pharmacy wants to relocate a poster will be displayed in the current pharmacy premises.

The advert and/or poster will let you know how you can take part in the consultation. Normally this will be by completing an electronic questionnaire which you can access through the HB’s website. The link to this questionnaire will appear clearly in the advert and/or poster.

If you do not have access to a computer, a paper version of the questionnaire will be also available. For those who need it, the questionnaire will be available in large font, Braille and other languages. Detail on how to get a paper questionnaire will appear clearly in the advert and/or poster.

General comments are also welcomed and details on how to do this will appear clearly in the advert and/or poster.

The HB also writes to the following to get a community view:

  • Elected representatives for the area where the proposed pharmacy is located (local councillors, MSPs, and MPs);
  • Health & Social Care Partnership Local Engagement Network;
  • the Community Council(s) serving the area where the proposed pharmacy is located; and
  • Voluntary and 3rd Sector organisations located in or providing services to people living within the area surrounding the proposed premises.

The public consultation lasts for 90 working days (does not include weekends & public holidays) and all responses received by the end of this period are included within the Consultation Analysis Report (CAR). This report details the extent of the consultation and summarises all the replies received.

The purpose of the Health Board’s Pharmaceutical Care Services Plan is to provide additional information on services currently available.

When fully developed the plan should identify if there are any localities within the Health Board where pharmacy services might need to be improved. The Board is unable to analyse current health data sufficiently to be able to make this statement currently.

Medicine Waste – Scottish Practice, Pharmacy and Prescribing Advisers Conference

Congratulations to NHSGGC Pharmacy Services, West Dunbartonshire HSCP Primary Care Pharmacy Team and the Patient Experience Public Involvement Team who were recognised as first prize winners at the Scottish Practice, Pharmacy and Prescribing Advisers Conference on the 22nd November 2024. Their research into public behaviours and solutions regarding overprescribing, the supply of medicines, and waste management has been invaluable and has helped inform a board-wide communication campaign. Lead author of the poster and Lead Pharmacist for Primary Care Anne Thomson (not pictured) said ‘we were delighted that over 1250 people took time to respond to our survey and share their feedback, experiences and ideas for change.  This has given us valuable insight into what we can all do to improve how medicines are managed and reduce unnecessary medicines overprescribing and waste’. 

NHSGGC also scooped the second poster prize for an innovative programme of education sessions delivered by pharmacy technicians for COPD patients; congratulations to NHSGGC Pharmacy Services, Glasgow City HSCP (South) and the West of Scotland Innovation Hub.
