We take healthcare businesses from idea to open doors. Private pharmacies, distance-selling pharmacies, CQC-registered clinics and online prescribing services. Premises, applications, SOPs, software and everything in between.
Whether you are a pharmacist opening your first premises, an investor entering the healthcare market or a clinic expanding into private prescribing, we handle the full setup.
Most consultancies stop at paperwork. We handle the regulatory applications, write the SOPs, build the website and ship the software. One team. No gaps.
We know what each body expects and we prepare your business to meet every standard before you submit a single form.
Six stages from first conversation to open doors. We manage every step so you can focus on running your business.
The UK private pharmacy market is growing. Patients are increasingly willing to pay for faster access to prescribing, personalised treatments and specialist services that the NHS cannot provide within traditional timeframes. Weight loss clinics, sexual health services, dermatology, HRT and private GP consultations are all driving demand for new pharmacy premises.
To open a private pharmacy in England, you must register your premises with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). This applies whether your pharmacy operates from a high street location or trades exclusively online as a distance-selling pharmacy. All pharmacies require physical premises that meet GPhC standards for storage, dispensing, security and clinical governance.
A failed GPhC inspection can delay your launch by months. We prepare every aspect of your application, from floor plans and SOPs to superintendent pharmacist declarations, so that your premises pass first time.
If your healthcare business involves prescribing or clinical consultations in England, the prescribing element must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This applies to private GP practices, telehealth platforms, online prescribing services and specialist clinics.
CQC registration requires a registered manager, a statement of purpose, compliance with the five key questions (safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led) and a set of policies covering safeguarding, recruitment, complaints and clinical governance.
We handle the full CQC process, from initial application and policy writing through to mock inspections and staff training. Our goal is to get you a "Good" rating on your first inspection and give you the operational framework to maintain it.
