Pharmacy Relocation & Consolidation Applications

Relocating a pharmacy or consolidating two sites under NHS regulations requires a clear strategic approach, careful evidence gathering, and risk awareness. At NorthRx, we guide you through the regulatory process to maximise your chances of approval and minimise the risk of delay.

Our services include:

• Regulatory Route Assessment

  Identification of the appropriate route under the NHS (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013, based on your specific circumstances.

• Strategic Planning

  Advice on timing, notification requirements, and how best to present your proposal to NHS England and local stakeholders.

• Application Preparation

  Drafting and submission of detailed relocation or consolidation applications, tailored to local health needs and access considerations.

• Supporting Evidence & Mapping

  Preparation of key documents such as demographic profiles, access analysis, and annotated maps to demonstrate continued patient access and service coverage.

• Stakeholder Engagement & Risk Management

  Guidance on managing potential objections from contractors, LPCs, or NHS England, including advice on how to strengthen your position and respond effectively to any concerns.

We help ensure your relocation or consolidation proposal is justified, clearly evidenced, and fully compliant, so you can move forward with confidence.
