*PGDs provide pharmacists and Registered Technicians with the necessary legal-medical authorisation to dispense and administer POMs but must be used appropriately, within a clinically robust pharmacy service framework.

Choosing the right PGD(s)  for your pharmacy

It’s important to consider what opportunities are available within your area:

  • What is your typical customer’s age group?
  • Are you in an area of high footfall area?
  • What percentages are regular and what percentage are one off visits?
  • Are you in a city centre / small local village?

You could consider conducting a survey with your customers to see what private services may be of interest to them.
