Business Development Advice
Are you thinking about, or ready to make some changes to improve the profitability and professionalism of your business, but not sure how? Or maybe you would welcome a visit from an experienced pharmacy consultant who can look at your business to identify cost-effective investment opportunities? We can undertake a review of your business also offering implementation help and advice.
Automation
Many pharmacists are considering how both to make their pharmacy more efficient and at the same time how to redesign their work processes so that they and their staff can spend more time building relationships WITH PATIENTS. Automation is a key that can unlock the potential for change here and Pharmacy Consulting Ltd has helped and advised several clients to gain the maximum benefits from automating their pharmacies.
How to develop additional Services under the New Contract
Your customers want and need more than basic dispensing services.
We can guide you in the development and implementation of enhanced services.
We may be able to help with identifying sources of commercial support for or sponsorship of some enhanced or advanced services.
Opening and Relocating Pharmacy Business under the NEW Pharmacy Contract
Most pharmacists will NOT have gained much experience of ever opening a new pharmacy business or relocating one to alternative premises. Yet these opportunities do exist and are often worth pursuing, especially as there are exemptions from Control of Entry and relocation under the New Pharmacy Contract.
We can guide you through the best route for an application to meet your circumstances and if you wish, support you by submitting professionally produced applications and representing you at relevant hearings. We will give you an honest opinion at the outset of your likely chances of success of gaining a New Contract or relocation via the recommended route
Under the NEW Contract, there are 4 exemptions from Control of Entry restrictions:
1. Pharmacies to be run by consortiums in One Stop Health Centres
2. Pharmacies willing to open over 100 hours per week
3. Pharmacies in major retail shopping developments
4. Internet only pharmacies
We can share with you the DOH published data on success rate of applications of all types at national level
