Elgin Pharmacy

Proposed application for a New Pharmacy in Elgin

NHS Grampian has been consulting with Elgin Pharmacy (proposed name), who have applied to open a new pharmacy in the High Street, Elgin.

When a new pharmacy application is made, the local Health Board must assess if the residents where the new pharmacy is proposed to open, feel a new pharmacy is necessary or desirable.

Elgin Pharmacy has defined the community area they would serve as being within the town of Elgin in its entirety.

Elgin Pharmacy plans to provide the following NHS services should the application be granted:

  • Pharmacy First Plus
  • Gluten Free Foods Service
  • Stoma Service
  • Unscheduled Care
  • Clinical Space Rental
  • Compliance Aid Provision
  • Hepatitis C Treatment – opt in for Advance Payments
  • MAR Chart Provision
  • Naloxone - Training and Supply
  • Preferred Brand
  • Public Holiday Provision (Festive Season)
  • Substance Use Service Level 1

In addition, a range of additional private services will be offered.

Elgin Pharmacy plans to provide these services at the following times:

Monday to Friday 08:45 am – 17:45
Saturday 09:00 – 17:00
Sunday closed

To assess the need for a new pharmacy in Elgin, NHS Grampian and Elgin Pharmacy are required to undertake a joint public consultation to:

a. Assess the current provision of pharmacy services in the proposed area and whether it is adequate.
b. Establish the level of support from residents in the proposed area for the application

People who may be affected and wish to be involved are invited to provide their views in respect of:

1. The pharmacy services being offered by the proposed applicant.
2. Any gaps in existing pharmacy service provision.
3. If the pharmacy services being offered by the proposed applicant would work alongside and fit in with other NHS services already provided in that area.
4. If the pharmacy services being offered by the proposed applicant would negatively or positively impact on other NHS services in the area.
5. The community area being proposed by the new pharmacy.
6. The location and proposed opening hours of the new pharmacy.

The consultation report and findings will be made available to interested parties.
