Written by AlisonFreemantle on Friday 17th October 2025
Consultation open until 11th December 2025
The Department for Health and Social Care and NHS England have launched a consultation seeking views on proposals to enable pharmacist flexibilities when dispensing medicines.
Proposals include amending the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 to increase pharmacist flexibilities when dispensing medicines by enabling pharmacists working in a community pharmacy to supply a different strength or formulation of the same medicine originally prescribed, in certain circumstances.
