The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain has published guidance on Internet pharmacy services for pharmacists who provide online services, or are planning to do so.

Guidance on Internet Pharmacy Services gives comprehensive advice on legal, professional and good practice requirements when supplying medicines or providing other professional pharmacy services and advice via the internet. Lynsey Balmer, Head of Professional Ethics at the Society, said:

"Online pharmacies are an area of rapid growth. The public must have every confidence that they are receiving excellent care from pharmacists irrespective of whether that service is provided online or face to face. This comprehensive guidance will be a valuable resource for pharmacists who provide internet services or plan to do so."

The full guidance and a summary of the document is available on the Society's website at rpsgb.
