Our Approach

We will quickly establish for no fee whether your surgery has a realistic expectation of establishing a profitable pharmacy. If it does we will partner with you to manage the set up and then the ongoing running of the pharmacy. Establishing a pharmacy requires experience.

Please feel free to contact us for advice on any related pharmacy matters.

Licensing alternatives: Consortium / One-stop shop licence

• New licence: 40 hour or 100 hour. Assessment of likely outcome and costing implications.
• Consortium / One stop shop licence. Proposed surgery redevelopments can offer an excellent opportunity for evaluating such a licence. Requires strict pre conditions to be met.
• Existing licence acquisition. You will need to determine whether relocation is viable as well as valuation and negotiation.

Operating model

• Assessing staffing requirements
• Supplier negotiations
• Whether to include retail in the business model
• Use of automated and robotic solutions
• Premises layout and design

Your likely capture rates

• Benchmarking against comparable projects

Financing and ownership structure

• Financing alternatives
• Management arrangements
• Exit/retirement provisions

Stress testing the business plan and financial model

We will help you through these issues. Our pharmacies have an 87% 'very good or excellent' rating from our patients (CFEP UK Survey).

We know simple co-location is not in itself enough to provide the very best services or to optimise profitability. This requires the expertise of a partner who is with you for the long term. We do not take a fee for our services, instead we co-invest.

Our structure is flexible and allows individual GPs to invest or not as they wish. For those who invest, it creates a realisable asset.
