Information about the data used to compile this directory:

The information presented here is derived from a database of all 10,079 pharmacies that provide NHS dispensing in England and the point location of those which could be accurately geo-referenced. It shows the static point locations of pharmacies which were operating in December 2006.

It is important to note that the data provide information about the location of pharmacies and not a count of pharmacists or staff at pharmacies operating in England. All pharmacies that are responsible for NHS dispensing and prescriptions are included (including pharmacies in large shops and supermarkets). Although GP Practices have the authority to dispense medicines, they are excluded from this dataset, as are pharmacies in hospitals, mobile services, walk-in services and any pharmacy selling over the counter products only (and not dispensing).

The data are collected by nhs.uk from the Prescription Pricing Authority and included on the nhs.uk database of all public health service establishments in England. This was the best data source available for the location of primary care services, in December 2006. This is maintained by NHS Connecting for Health (formerly National Health Service Information Authority, NHSIA). This does NOT include data from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland which are maintained by their own teams.
