Pharmacy fit-out across Merseyside
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Merseyside, our pharmacy fit-out service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
A pharmacy fit-out creates the dispensary, a private consultation room, the medicines counter and the retail area, with the security and storage controlled medicines need.
Working in Merseyside
In Merseyside we mostly see showrooms and trade counters and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.
What does the work include?
- Medicines counter with pharmacist sight line
- Controlled drugs cabinet fixing
- Retail shelving and health displays
- Security, CCTV and shutters
What approvals might you need in Merseyside?
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
- The pharmacist needs a clear view of the medicines counter from the dispensary.
- Controlled drugs cabinets must be fixed securely to the structure.
