Pharmacy score UK: GPhC inspection scores for 78 online pharmacies, checked before you buy

Pharmacy score meaning: what the score measures and what it leaves out

For weight loss medication the inspection record carries extra weight. Mounjaro, Wegovy and Foundayo are prescription-only medicines. The pharmacy dispensing them is legally accountable for storing them correctly, checking who is asking for them, and refusing supply where supply is not clinically appropriate. An inspection examines those duties. A five-star delivery review says nothing about them.

Price leads every Monj table, because cost is why most people compare. The score sits beside the price, so one view shows whether the cheapest option also met its regulatory standards.

Pharmacy score index: every listed pharmacy with a published inspection report

Every pharmacy listed on Monj was checked against the General Pharmaceutical Council register on 12 October 2026, one registration number at a time, and we read every published inspection report. All 78 hold a current registration. None has been removed from the register. Of those, 61 have a published inspection report and 17 are registered but have not been inspected yet, which is normal for a recently registered online pharmacy and no mark against them. After a reinspection or an intelligence-led visit, the regulator publishes an outcome only for the principles it examined. Those rows show hollow dots for principles the inspector did not assess. We do not assume those were met. Every GPhC number, Trustpilot score and discount page link in the table below is read live from the Monj price database, so none of those figures is typed by hand (Last checked 13 Oct 2026 at 8:52pm). Each GPhC number links to the pharmacy's record on the GPhC register, with a link to its inspection report. Prices are left out on purpose. This page covers regulatory standing, and prices change daily. Use the discount codes link on each row, or the full price comparison, for what a pharmacy currently charges.

Listed A to Z. The order is no ranking. Dots show the five principles in inspection order: governance, staff, premises, services, equipment. A red dot means the regulator found the principle not met at the last published inspection. Open the pharmacy page for the detail and the report date. Pharmacies with a published report but no recorded outcomes are not shown. Every pharmacy on Monj, inspected or not, is on the verified pharmacy list.

One dispensing pharmacy, several brand names

A brand on Monj does not always run its own pharmacy. Many sell through a partner, and the partner's GPhC registration covers every brand dispensing from those premises. Two brand names with one registration number share one inspection report, so they share one pharmacy score.

A new brand name may sit on top of a pharmacy with a long inspection record. A familiar brand sometimes hands dispensing to a partner you have never heard of. Look for the registration number in the footer of the brand's own site, then search the GPhC register by the number rather than the brand name. The number tells you where your medicine comes from.

Pharmacy check: what each failing means before you order

Pick a pharmacy from the index to load its inspection record, or work through the ten checks yourself for any UK pharmacy using its website and its GPhC report. The tool gives no made-up risk number. For each item you did not find, you get a plain English note on what the gap means for you and whether to pause, ask a question or stop.

Pharmacy score and Trustpilot score: check both before you buy

Monj shows two scores against every listed pharmacy because each answers a different question. People who buy on one score alone get caught out. The pharmacy score is the regulator's verdict. The Trustpilot score is the customer's. Look for a pharmacy with good results on both.

Read the two together. A high Trustpilot score with a weak inspection record often means a polished website over a badly run pharmacy. A strong inspection record with average reviews often means a careful pharmacy with slow email replies. Either may suit you. Know which one you are choosing before you pay.

The standard a pharmacy must meet to be listed

Monj does not list every pharmacy selling weight loss medication. A provider has to meet five conditions before it appears in a price table.

Where to check the pharmacy score across all four medicines

The same score applies wherever a pharmacy appears across the Monj network, so a provider you have checked once keeps the same record everywhere. Open any comparison table and sort or filter by pharmacy score to move the best-inspected providers to the top.

A pharmacy that scores well on Mounjaro scores identically on Wegovy and Foundayo. The medicine changes. The inspection record stays the same.

Using the score next to the Monj Mounjaro price table

Mounjaro is a weekly injection, and each KwikPen holds four doses, so one pen covers four weeks. A lower price elsewhere can tempt you to switch pharmacy mid-course. Before you move, open the Monj Mounjaro table and find both pharmacies: the one you use now and the one you are considering. Compare the total price first, then the pharmacy score beside each.

A switch saves you money without extra risk only when the new pharmacy meets the same standard. Check the date of its last inspection, then look at principle 4, services including medicines management. Principle 4 covers how medicines are sourced, stored and handled, including a pen sent to you by courier. A red dot on principle 4 means you should read the full report before you order.

Pharmacies awaiting a first report show as registered, not scored. Monj checks each pharmacy's certificates before listing. Monj does not sell, prescribe or dispense Mounjaro.

The five GPhC inspection principles, in plain English

Every registered UK pharmacy is inspected against five principles. Each is judged separately, and each is met or not met independently of the others. Below is what an inspector looks for under each one, and what each means for you as a patient.

How to read an inspection report: a worked example

Inspection reports are public and free to read. The wording is careful, so read slowly. Below is a real published report, anonymised, for a community pharmacy attached to a health centre. The pharmacy met all five principles. Past the headline, the report still shows two weak spots.

Two soft warnings sit inside an all-met report: thin error analysis under governance, and a dispensary that is small for its workload under premises. Neither breaches a standard. Details like these separate a pharmacy scraping a pass from a well-run one. You will not find them in a customer review.

The nine standards every pharmacy professional must meet

Separately from premises inspections, every individual pharmacist and pharmacy technician on the GPhC register is bound by nine professional standards. They apply to the person, not the building, and they hold whether the person is dispensing in a village pharmacy or approving a weight loss prescription online late at night.

• 1 Provide person-centred care
• 2 Work in partnership with others
• 3 Communicate effectively
• 4 Maintain, develop and use professional knowledge and skills
• 5 Use professional judgement
• 6 Behave in a professional manner
• 7 Respect and maintain confidentiality and privacy
• 8 Speak up when they have concerns or when things go wrong
• 9 Demonstrate leadership

What a pharmacy score cannot tell you

The score has four limits you should know about.

How to check pharmacy registration yourself in four minutes

You never have to take our word for any of this. Every source we use is public, and a registration check takes about four minutes.

Check the pharmacy score before you buy

Check the score in the 30 seconds before payment. Open the pharmacy you are considering, look at its pharmacy score and its Trustpilot score together, then decide. Each page below shows the provider's registration and how its total price compares.

A pharmacy missing from this list has not been judged by Monj. Run the four-minute registration check above before you order anywhere.
