The New Pharmacy Model

The New Pharmacy Model

Pharmacies in the United Kingdom are undergoing a profound transformation. Gone are the days of simply dispensing medicine from the back of the pharmacy. The emergence of new compliance standards and regulations, alongside advancements in technology and a shift towards more patient-centric care, has paved the way for what can be aptly termed as “The New Pharmacy Model”.

This model, envisioned by our CEO, Saam Ali, encompasses a comprehensive approach to pharmacy spanning four key pillars: products and services, marketing and sales strategies, operational enhancements, and human resources development.

Take a look at the infographic below, which we’ve developed, that showcases The New Pharmacy Model in the industry. Let’s delve deeper into its intricacies.

new pharmacy model

The New Pharmacy Model, as depicted by our CEO and Founder

Products & Services

NHS Services: Pharmacies are at the forefront of providing essential NHS services, with a primary focus on prescription fulfilment. The integration of fully automated prescription fulfilment systems has streamlined the process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, pharmacies offer advanced services such as New Medicine Service (NMS), hypertension management, Pharmacy First consultations, flu vaccinations, and access to emergency contraception like the Morning After Pill.

Private Services: Expanding beyond NHS services, pharmacies now offer a plethora of private services under the same roof. These include travel vaccinations, ear wax removal, blood testing, aesthetics procedures, and over-the-counter (OTC) sales of various healthcare products and supplements, catering to diverse consumer needs. In the New Pharmacy Model, the pharmacy is a true health hub in the community.

Online Services: The digital era has ushered in a new era of accessibility and convenience. Pharmacies now offer online prescribing services allowing independent prescribers to sell prescription-only medication (POM), pharmacy-only medicines (P-lines), and General Sales List (GSL) items safely and securely online.

Marketing & Sales

Engagement Strategies: Utilising web-based platforms, pharmacies engage with customers through online bookings, AI-powered health assistants, live chat support, email opt-ins, and dedicated mobile applications, ensuring seamless communication and accessibility.

Marketing Channels: To amplify their reach, pharmacies employ a mix of marketing channels including search engine optimisation (SEO), social media engagement, Google and Meta advertising, digital TV signage, email and SMS marketing, and innovative strategies like QR codes to enhance customer engagement and retention.

Partnerships

Healthcare Collaborations: Pharmacies are now forging strategic partnerships with healthcare providers including general practitioners (GPs), dental clinics, chiropodists, weight loss clinics, optometrists, and medical labs to offer comprehensive and integrated healthcare solutions.

Other Collaborations: Beyond healthcare, pharmacies collaborate with travel agents, local businesses, and corporate entities to extend their services and cater to diverse consumer needs.

Operations

Enhanced Experience: Pharmacies invest in enhancing the customer experience by providing physical premises with multiple consultation rooms designed in a clinical setting. Additionally, technology infusion ensures a seamless and efficient service delivery.

Online Pharmacy: In response to evolving consumer preferences, pharmacies offer online platforms with a smooth user experience (UX), digital communications, and trackable order systems to cater to the growing demand for digital healthcare solutions.

Technology Integration: Robotics play a pivotal role in pharmacy operations with dispensing robots, pill packs, and 24/7 prescription collection systems ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and round-the-clock service. Additionally, pharmacies leverage software and hardware solutions including Pharmacy Management Systems (PMR), websites, apps, digital records, Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) systems, and automated drug ordering systems to streamline operations.

Human Resources

Training Programs: Pharmacies invest in comprehensive training programs encompassing in-person sessions covering vaccinations, independent prescribing (IP), Patient Group Directions (PGDs), CPR training, clinical assessments, and workshops to ensure staff competency and compliance.

Continuous Learning and Support: Recognising the importance of ongoing learning, pharmacies offer self-learning modules and support mechanisms through online platforms, buying groups, and membership associations to empower their workforce with new skills and knowledge.

People-Centric Culture: Pharmacies foster a positive and inclusive work culture that emphasises recognition, diversity, and inclusion, creating an empowering environment for their employees. This is key for pharmacy growth and has been neglected in the old model.

Leadership Attributes: Leaders embody visionary, innovative, adaptable, resilient, and collaborative traits, steering their pharmacy organisations through dynamic healthcare landscapes and driving positive change.

Embrace Change

The New Pharmacy Model represents a huge shift in how pharmacies operate and interact with their patients and customers. By embracing technological advancements, expanding service offerings, forging strategic partnerships, optimising operations, and nurturing their human resources, pharmacies are not just adapting to change but leading the way towards a more integrated and patient-centric healthcare ecosystem in the United Kingdom.

At Pharmacy Mentor, we’re playing a crucial role in helping pharmacies adapt to the New Model. Our marketing and development solutions help with two of the big pillars in this model in a variety of ways. If you’re keen on understanding how we can help you, please get in touch with us. Our team of experts have helped 1000’s of pharmacies embrace new solutions and engage with their audiences better.

Pharmacy Websites – Good vs Poor – Know the Difference

Understanding Pharmacy Websites

A pharmacy website has the potential to generate as much business for you as your physical premises. In today’s digital age, a well-designed and functional website is crucial for any business, including pharmacies. A pharmacy website is often the first point of contact between patients and the pharmacy, serving as a valuable tool for delivering information, offering online services, and establishing a strong online presence. At Pharmacy Mentor, we understand the significance of pharmacy websites and take pride in building and selling websites that are tailored to the specific needs of pharmacists. In this blog, we’ll explore the key differences between good and poor pharmacy websites, shedding light on why a well-crafted online presence can make all the difference for your pharmacy.

 

Pharmacy Websites - Good vs Poor - Know the Difference

 

Why a Pharmacy Website Matters

Before delving into the distinctions between good and poor pharmacy websites, it’s important to understand why having an effective online presence is so essential for pharmacies. A well-designed pharmacy website offers several benefits:

Accessibility: A pharmacy website allows patients to access essential information 24/7. This means they can check opening hours, prescription services, and even order refills at their convenience.

Information Hub: A good pharmacy website serves as an information hub where patients can learn about the services, staff, and any updates relevant to the pharmacy. This enhances transparency and builds trust.

Online Services: Patients appreciate the convenience of online services, such as prescription refills, appointment booking, and health-related information. A well-crafted website can provide these services seamlessly.

Marketing and Branding: Your pharmacy website is a powerful marketing tool. It enables you to showcase your expertise, promote special offers, and build your brand identity.

Competitive Edge: In today’s competitive landscape, having a professional and user-friendly website can set your pharmacy apart from others, attracting new customers and retaining existing ones.

 

The Differences Between Good and Poor Pharmacy Websites

Now, let’s dive into the key differences between good and poor pharmacy websites, highlighting how a well-crafted website can benefit both your pharmacy and your patients.

 

>> Design and User Experience

Good: A well-designed pharmacy website is visually appealing and easy to navigate. It features a clean layout, clear typography, and high-quality images. Navigation is intuitive, allowing patients to find what they need quickly. It’s also mobile-responsive, ensuring a seamless experience across all devices.

Poor: On the other hand, a poor pharmacy website may look outdated, cluttered, and disorganised. Navigation is confusing, and patients might struggle to find basic information. It may not adapt to mobile devices, making it frustrating to use on smartphones and tablets.

At Pharmacy Mentor, we specialise in creating modern, user-friendly pharmacy websites. Our team understands the importance of a clean and intuitive design, ensuring that your patients have a positive online experience.

 

>> Information and Transparency

Good: A high-quality pharmacy website provides comprehensive information about the pharmacy’s services, staff, location, and contact details. It’s a valuable resource for patients, offering clarity on prescription services, insurance, and more. Transparency is a key factor, as it builds trust with patients.

Poor: A poor pharmacy website may lack essential information, leaving patients with unanswered questions. This can result in frustration and mistrust. Patients might even turn to competitors with more informative websites.

Our team at Pharmacy Mentor emphasises the importance of providing detailed and transparent information on your website. We work closely with you to ensure that your website is a valuable resource for your patients.

 

>> Online Services and Features

Good: A well-crafted pharmacy website offers a range of online services, such as prescription refills, appointment scheduling, and health-related resources. It makes it easy for patients to access these services and enhances their overall experience.

Poor: A poor pharmacy website may lack essential online services, missing out on opportunities to provide convenience to patients. This can result in decreased patient satisfaction and engagement.

At Pharmacy Mentor, we understand the significance of online services for pharmacies. We can help you integrate features like prescription refills and appointment scheduling, making your website a valuable tool for both patients and your pharmacy staff.

 

>> Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Good: A good pharmacy website is optimised for search engines, making it easier for potential patients to find you online. This involves using relevant keywords, creating high-quality content, and optimising page load times.

Poor: A poorly optimised website may not appear in search engine results, causing a loss of potential patients. It misses out on the opportunity to attract new customers.

Pharmacy Mentor specialises in SEO for pharmacy websites. We can help your website rank higher in search engine results, increasing its visibility and attracting more potential patients to your pharmacy.

 

>> Security and Privacy

Good: A high-quality pharmacy website prioritises the security and privacy of patient information. It uses secure and encrypted connections to protect patient data and complies with data protection regulations.

Poor: A poor website may neglect security measures, putting patient data at risk. This can lead to privacy breaches and erode patient trust.

At Pharmacy Mentor, we take security and privacy seriously. Our pharmacy websites are designed with the highest level of security to safeguard patient information and maintain trust.

 

>> Mobile Responsiveness

Good: A well-crafted pharmacy website is mobile-responsive, meaning it functions seamlessly on various devices, including smartphones and tablets. This is crucial in today’s mobile-centric world.

Poor: A poorly designed website may not be optimised for mobile devices, leading to a frustrating experience for patients trying to access it on their phones.

At Pharmacy Mentor, we ensure that your pharmacy website is fully responsive, allowing patients to access essential information and services from any device.

 

>> Regular Updates and Maintenance

Good: A good pharmacy website is regularly updated with fresh content and relevant information. It is well-maintained to ensure smooth functionality.

Poor: A poorly maintained website may have outdated information and broken links, leaving patients frustrated and uninformed.

Our team at Pharmacy Mentor provides ongoing maintenance and updates for your website, ensuring that it remains a valuable resource for your patients.

Supercharge Your Pharmacy: A Guide to Record-Breaking Flu Vaccine Advertising

Expert Flu Vaccine Advertising

As flu season approaches, pharmacies play a crucial role in promoting public health by offering flu vaccines to their communities. However, simply providing the vaccines is not enough. Effective advertising and marketing strategies are essential to ensure that people are aware of the availability, benefits, and convenience of getting their flu shots at local pharmacies. In this blog post, we will explore various strategies and tips for successful flu vaccine advertising that can help pharmacies maximise their reach and impact during flu season.

 

Your Guide to Flu Vaccine Advertising

 

Know Your Target Audience

Before diving into advertising, it’s important to understand the target audience for flu vaccines. Identify key demographics, such as age groups, families, seniors, and individuals with chronic illnesses. By knowing your audience, you can tailor your messaging and select appropriate advertising channels to effectively reach and engage them.

 

Create Compelling Messaging

Crafting compelling messaging is crucial to grab attention and motivate people to get their flu shots at your pharmacy. Highlight the importance of flu vaccination, emphasising its role in preventing illness, protecting loved ones, and maintaining overall well-being. Use persuasive language that appeals to emotions and emphasises the convenience, accessibility, and reliability of your pharmacy’s flu vaccine services.

 

Utilise Multiple Advertising Channels

To maximise your reach, employ a mix of advertising channels. Consider both traditional and digital platforms to target a wide audience.

Here are a few effective channels:

  • Utilise Local Print Media: Place flyers and brochures in your pharmacy & throughout your community. As well as this, place ads in local community newspapers.
  • Get Found on Google: Make sure your website gets found on Google. Our SEO team can help you do this by creating highly optimised content that can generate organic traffic and drive direct flu jab bookings for your pharmacy.
  • S is for Social Media: Leverage the power of social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Twitter to reach a broader audience. Create engaging posts, share informative articles, and run targeted ads to generate awareness.
  • Email Marketing: Utilise your pharmacy’s existing customer database to send targeted email campaigns. Highlight the benefits of getting vaccinated, share educational content, and offer incentives like exclusive discounts or loyalty rewards.

 

Collaborate with Local Partners

Forge partnerships with local community organisations, schools, businesses, and healthcare providers to expand your reach. Offer to conduct flu vaccine clinics at community centres, schools, or workplaces. If you can’t do this then simply leave flyers or posters in these organisations. By working together, you can create a network of support and generate more visibility for your flu vaccine advertising efforts.

 

Provide Educational Materials

Alongside your advertising efforts, provide educational materials that inform people about the flu virus, the benefits of vaccination, and dispel common myths. Create brochures, flyers, and posters that can be displayed in your pharmacy and distributed within the community. These materials can serve as a valuable resource for individuals seeking more information about flu vaccination.

 

Ensure Easy Online Bookings

People want to book online. So you’ve got to allow them to do so. Add both NHS and Private Flu Jabs as services. Set appointment times to 5 minutes. Consider allowing patients to pay online for the private jab upfront and don’t forget the automated feedback mechanism, this will help you get testimonials that you can further market with.

 

Start Your Flu Vaccine Advertising Today
