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.
What is shopfitting like in Northumberland?
In Northumberland we mostly see cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and salons, barbers and beauty clinics. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North East towns have seen a wave of independent businesses taking on vacant units, and fit-outs here often start with bringing a tired shell back into usable condition.
What does the work include?
- Retail shelving and health displays
- Security, CCTV and shutters
- Dispensary benching and drug storage
- Consultation room with sound privacy
What approvals might you need in Northumberland?
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.
