Investing in Excellence

Pharmacy2U has invested heavily in its processes, its plant and its people to establish its lead in the market and lay the foundations for future growth.

The results are evident. In the six years to 2007 turnover increased by an average of 68 per cent per annum and gross profit by an average of 78 per cent. In 2006 it was named as one of the UK’s top 50 fastest-growing companies in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 survey.

Pharmacy2U’s unique electronic prescribing platform provides it with a powerful patient proposition. It has also invested heavily in the design and functionality of its website.

At the company’s head office in Leeds, a £1.5 million investment in state of the art technology has ensured maximum efficiency. Here automated dispensing systems, fully integrated into its IT platform, can process thousands of orders per day with almost 100 per cent accuracy.

Clinical governance is built in at every step. Each prescription is clinically checked by a pharmacist and then checked for accuracy by qualified technicians before finally being dispatched. The premises is also equipped for growth, with the capacity to handle significantly greater volume.

As Investors in People, Pharmacy2U has a highly qualified and well motivated workforce. The company has also invested time in developing partnerships – with the NHS, private clinics, pharmaceutical manufacturers and the leading primary care IT supplier EMIS – which has given it a unique competitive advantage in the market.
