printer mail-detail

Amends the Medicines Act 1968 to remove ‘the three year rule’, which restricts certain pharmacists who qualified in the European Union from being responsible pharmacist in charge of a newly established pharmacy.

‘Newly established' means pharmacy premises in Great Britain that have been registered for less than three years.

Results from changes in the domestic environment for pharmaceutical services provision as well as increasing relaxation on rules of pharmacy ownership in European Economic Area countries, originally under Council Dir 85/433, now Council Dir 2005/36/EC.

In force: 14 July 2011
