A movement and model to inspire and enable
community pharmacies for a profitable future
From Vision to Profit
Modern Community Pharmacy Practice is a movement which is underpinned by a strategic business planning model and tools to move from vision to profit.
Our aim is to inspire and support the changes required to enable community pharmacies across the world to adapt and thrive in a challenging and rapidly evolving health, technological and economic landscape.
The drivers for change
Funding for pharmacy services in many countries has declined in real terms to unsustainable levels and unlikely to improve significantly in the short or medium term.
Technology in health and pharmacy operations are advancing at pace.
Community pharmacy must adapt to a new model of practice. One which is relevant, indispensable, integrated and profitable.
It must also meet the increasing needs and expectations of patients through accessible, high quality private clinical services, and advice, support and treatment for self-care.
The benefits
Sustainability
Without adapting to the changing health, technological and economic landscape, community pharmacies risk becoming even less profitable and relevant to those who fund and use us.
Community pharmacy needs a viable hybrid model fit for now and fit for the future.
Excellence in care
Strong clinical governance, team competence and behaviours, and good systems and processes to deliver a quality patient experience and safe outcomes.
This will meet the needs of funders and builds patient loyalty and use of services.
Fulfillment
How working as a multi-disciplinary team with a shared purpose and collaborating with other health teams will deliver better outcomes and profitability.
It will also be professionally fulfilling and improve team retention.
