Assessing Dispensing List Vulnerability

The rise of the rural pharmacy

Rural areas remain a popular destination for a population that is ageing and growing. This has not gone unnoticed by either building developers or pharmacy operators that are now looking at rural areas with renewed interest.

One way to protect your dispensing income is to open your own pharmacy. An Integrated pharmacy offers a host of advantages to the practice – not least of which is to protect dispensing income that may be taken away by a successful pharmacy application.

The DDA is pleased to offer a host of advice on assessing your practice's vulnerability and the viability of a new pharmacy. There is also help for would-be owners at all stages of the process – from choosing a location, the application process, staffing your pharmacy and managing patients through the transition.

All our information and advice for GP pharmacy owners can be found in our Integrated Medicines Provider Forum and Forum membership costs start at just £50 for existing DDA members.
