Newsletter Header - May

Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the May edition of The Pharmacy Show newsletter.

 

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve been named finalists for the AEO Awards! A huge thank you to each and every one of you for your continued support – we couldn’t have done it without you.

PS - AEO Awards 2025 - Leaderboard

In this edition, we are excited to announce our brand-new theatre at the show: The Pharmacy Owners’ Forum. Designed for current and aspiring pharmacy owners, the talks in this theatre will deliver practical business advice for navigating the day-to-day realities of pharmacy ownership.

 

Following DHSC’s announcement last month, we’ll be taking a look at the long-awaited Hub-and-Spoke legislation coming into effect this October. Alongside a key update on the implementation of Hub-and-Spoke for independent pharmacies, we are delighted to share an exclusive seminar recording at last year’s Pharmacy Show – featuring Gareth Jones, Director of corporate affairs at the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) – examining the implications of the upcoming changes to the law.

 

Take a look for yourself below…

  • Hub-and-Spoke dispensing latest update
  • WATCH NOW: Exclusive seminar recording on Hub-and-Spoke dispensing for independent pharmacies 
  • Our brand-new theatre for pharmacy owners at this year’s show 
  • Key news in brief and updates from the world of community pharmacy
  • And more…

With 2025 planning in motion, we are actively calling on all our Pharmacy Show community to help us deliver a year filled to the brim with high quality educational content.

 
If you would like to speak at the show or contribute to future newsletters, please get in touch at b.ridley@closerstillmedia.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
