Mapping UK Pharmacies in OSM
This tool compares the data for UK pharmacies in OpenStreetMap, with official data from the Register of Pharmacies published by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).
- From the GPhC data, only Community Pharmacies are included in the tool. (Internet-only pharmacies, temporary outlets for events, and internal prison and hospital pharmacies are excluded.)
- From OSM, objects tagged with amenity=pharmacy or pharmacy=yes are collected, but pharmacy=yes on an object with amenity=hospital or amenity=prison are then excluded.
