Helping your pharmacy stay profitable

A pharmacy looks like a shop and behaves like a small hospital attached to a retailer. NHS income arrives on its own calendar. Stock walks out the door. Locums fill the rota at a cost that can erase a good week. If the accounts treat all of that as ‘sales’ and ‘purchases’, you will feel busy and poor.
