General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) is the body responsible for the independent regulation of the pharmacy profession within England, Scotland and Wales, responsible for the regulation of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy premises.

Dispensary layout

The dispensary should be organized to keep distractions to a minimum.

The atmosphere of the dispensary should encourage good concentration.

Alert staff to the dangers of stock being placed in the wrong location. Dispensary stock

should only be put away by a competent member of staff.

Keep a segregated area of the dispensary workbench for the dispensing process.

Segregate prescriptions on the workbench to avoid patients receiving someone else’s

medicines. You may use baskets / trays if appropriate.

Principal functions of the GPHC,
To establish and maintain a register of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and premises at which a retail pharmacy business is;
