The opportunity
Why this business works now
Patients rely on community pharmacies for accurate dispensing, medicine access, practical advice and convenient repeat service. A pharmacy combines regulated dispensing with selected non-prescription and front-shop sales. The plan explains prescriptions, patient profiles, procurement, cold chain, controlled stock, claims, counselling, deliveries and inventory control.
Prescription dispensing
Accurate supply and patient counselling form the core professional service.
Chronic and repeat customers
Ongoing medicine needs support continuing patient relationships.
Dispensary and front shop
Regulated medicines and selected retail categories require separate controls.
