Pharmacy, Northern Ireland

Pharmacies dispense medicines prescribed by GPs, hospitals and other authorised prescribers, and can usually arrange repeat prescriptions. Pharmacists check prescriptions for safety, explain how and when to take medicines, and may liaise with prescribers about possible interactions, side effects or changes needed. Many pharmacies also supply over-the-counter medicines and offer advice on common, minor health concerns. Depending on the pharmacy, services may include vaccinations, health checks, help with stopping smoking, support with medicines management, emergency contraception and treatment for certain minor conditions. Some provide medicine delivery or monitored dosage systems for people who need help taking regular medicines. Community pharmacies in Great Britain are regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council, and pharmacists must be registered with the relevant professional regulator where they practise. Availability of services varies between pharmacies and across the UK.
