How these figures are put together
Pharmacies registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) under the same owner name
Premises on the latest published GPhC register are grouped when the register gives exactly the same owner name. NHS figures come from each branch's matched NHS pharmacy code, and each NHS code is counted once.
This is the owner name as it appears on the GPhC register. It is not proof of legal ownership, does not show parent companies, and is not the NHS 'operated by' head office. Very similar owner names can share a page link; where that happens you choose the exact name.
