Legislation 2025

What you need to know

and how we can help

I've seen firsthand the immense pressure the
healthcare sector is under. Staffing shortages,
recruitment difficulties, and the constant
struggle to find time for essential tasks have
placed significant strain on healthcare providers.
Having spoken to Numark members, it’s clear
that the pressure they face is evident.

Furthermore, advancements in the processes
involved in dispensing medications, a critical
component of patient care, have not kept
pace with the growth in NHS items. This
is contributing to the pressure felt by
pharmacy teams.
Current legislation compounds these
issues by restricting the assembly
of medicines across different legal
entities, which could potentially
offer pharmacies efficiencies.
Pharmacies are forced to
dispense within their own
bricks-and-mortar locations,
creating inefficiencies
and bottlenecks. This rigid
framework hinders the ability to
optimise resources and streamline
operations, ultimately impacting the
quality and speed of patient care.
Numark is at the forefront of addressing
these issues by implementing innovative
solutions designed to streamline the
dispensing process and enhance
efficiency.
