What are pharmaceutical services?
Pharmaceutical services are many of the services currently provided under the NHS by community pharmacies, and include:
- The dispensing of medicines and appliances on prescription
- The sale of medicines to the public
- Providing advice to the public on medicines or managing illness
- Receiving waste medicines for safe destruction
Some pharmaceutical services may be provided by dispensing GP practices, or dispensing appliance contractors.
