Pharmacy Accountants
With increasing financial pressure on NHS budgets and rapid technological change, we appreciate the challenges you face in your pharmacy. Whether you operate a single pharmacy or several, our specialist team understands the unique concerns of the pharmaceutical industry, and are ready to support you with our tailored, sector-specific advice.
We understand that there are threats facing the pharmaceutical industry despite the demand for pharmaceuticals growing.
Changes in the sector
The NHS update that patients in England will be able to get treatment for seven common conditions at their high street pharmacy from 31 January 2024 without needing to see a GP, as part of a major transformation in the way the NHS delivers care, will no doubt see numerous changes in how pharmacies are financed, managed, and staffed. This update we anticipate to see an increase in the demand for pharmacies and pharmacists as a result.
On the other hand, as an independent pharmacy, you may be facing competition from major supermarkets and online retailers exploiting the desire for consumer convenience. With competition growing, it is important your pharmacy has in place a strategic plan to boost your competitive edge, increase profits, and meet your objectives.
