sore throats! Numark supports you with:
• Guidance for pharmacy staff: Detailed guidelines for
managing sore throat cases.

your service.

and red flags, developed with ECG Training and GTS-MedOH.

• Patient satisfaction: Quick and convenient service leads to happy
patients.

• Extra revenue: More consultations mean more income. For instance,
pharmacies achieving 30 consultations from August per month can
claim a monthly £1000 threshold fee. With each consultation valued
at £15, this totals £17,400 annually. Sore throat consultations will
contribute significantly to contractors achieving this threshold as
shown in Wales where the service has been established for two years.

Currently, pharmacies average around 11 consultations per month.
However, with Numark's wide range of resources, including POS materials
and Pharmacy Excellence training, achieving 30 consultations is within
reach. These tools not only streamline the process but also help in
expanding your customer base. By effectively promoting your sore
throat services, you can attract new patients, turning them into regular
customers and boosting your pharmacy's overall footfall.

First umbrella.
