Understanding our services

About PGDPro and PGDs

What is PGDPro?

PGDPro is provided by Medical Prescription Services Ltd (MPS). It is a specialist provider of Patient Group Directions (PGDs) and associated training packages, designed to help pharmacies safely and legally offer a wide range of clinical services.

PGDPro provides cost-effective, clinically robust PGDs alongside the training and support required to implement them.

About MPS and PGDPro
Who is PGDPro suitable for?

PGDPro is designed for community pharmacies, pharmacy chains, and healthcare providers looking to expand their clinical services, including vaccinations and treatment services.

What is a Patient Group Direction (PGD)?

A PGD is a legally authorised framework that allows qualified healthcare professionals, such as pharmacists, to supply or administer specified medicines to predefined groups of patients without the need for an individual prescription.

Read the PGD service requirements
What is the difference between PGDPro and the partner platforms?

PGDPro is provided by Medical Prescription Services Ltd. It enables pharmacy professionals to purchase PGDs and access their associated online training and supporting documents. The service-specific online training must be completed and passed before access to the relevant PGD is granted.

Xiniyo and App&Tap are separate third-party platforms supporting electronic screening and patient management around PGD services. Patient-facing activities are managed by the relevant pharmacy and partner provider.

Your PGDPro learning account is separate from these partner platforms. Refer to your chosen partner for its functionality, pricing and access arrangements.

Packages & coverage

Choosing your PGDs

Which purchase option should I choose?

Choose a branch package if you need coverage for a pharmacy team, an individual package for one named pharmacist or registered pharmacy technician, or a single PGD for a specific service.

Our purchase page lets you compare the available options and see what each includes.

Explore PGD options
What is the difference between branch and individual packages?

Branch packages provide coverage for up to four registered users at one pharmacy branch. Individual packages provide access for one named pharmacist or registered pharmacy technician only.

Check the coverage information on your chosen product before purchasing, particularly if you need access for more users or more than one branch.

How can I check which services and medicines are included?

Each product tile on the purchase page includes a short overview. Expand its coverage and medicines section to see the services and medicines included in that product.

Check these details before adding a product to your basket so you can choose the right coverage for your needs.

Can I purchase a single PGD instead of a package?

Yes. If you need a PGD for a specific service, you can browse the single PGDs available on our purchase page.

If you plan to offer several services, compare the package options to see which best meets your needs.

Browse single PGDs

  • Travel vaccinations
  • Flu and Covid vaccinations
  • Respiratory vaccinations
  • Weight loss treatments
  • Erectile dysfunction treatment
  • Hair loss treatment
  • Sexual health services
  • Malaria prophylaxis and travel medicines
