What We Do
Our aim is to increase your purchasing profits.
Members receive regular statements highlighting their individual rebates & bonus payments. Each month we put out to tender more than 25,000 products & independent market comparisons confirm our members receive the best prices.
We employ 11 local Business Managers to advise and support every member with their individual business requirements. As one of the largest pharmacy support groups in the UK we provide members with access to the highest levels of most pharmacy bodies, now supporting Dispensing Doctors.
We have developed e-CASS, the price comparison, stock ordering tool that saves members time and makes them money.
Generics & Generic Schemes
We happily work with our partners AAH, Alliance, TEVA and Accord where we can set up our cascade to default to your chosen generic scheme, or you will have the option to choose from our partners from the prices they tender into our cascade.
So you have the options of selecting the best available price on the day from the cascade or from the loyalty schemes offered by the main wholesalers.
Don't just take our word for it...
