Pharmacy market entry in England and Wales is governed by hundreds of pages of regulations. The difference between a successful application and a costly refusal often comes down to the quality of preparation and the experience of your adviser.

At TI Pharmacy Consultancy, we understand the NHS (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013 in detail. We work with independent pharmacists, small groups and larger operators to get applications right first time.

We cover England and Wales and advise on the full range of market entry, contract variation and compliance matters.
