Every pharmacy here has earned its place.

The General Pharmaceutical Council, the pharmacy regulator for England, Scotland and Wales, updated its guidance for registered pharmacies providing services at a distance. Weight-management medicines are now classed as needing additional safeguards: the prescriber cannot rely on an online questionnaire alone, must independently verify weight, height and BMI (by video or in-person consultation, clinical records, or contact with the GP or usual prescriber), and there must be timely two-way communication. Superintendent Pharmacists are now jointly responsible with pharmacy owners for meeting the guidance, and incentives to prescribers are barred.

"...should only supply a medicine if the prescriber has had an appropriate consultation."
