Even if you were to purchase at 10%
cheaper across the list that averages 6p. It’s
not rocket science to realise this numbers
very small and you need to use an awful
lot of stock to equate to the wage you are
paid spending time doing this type of task. I
would argue that it is only worth even looking
at shopping around if you are a massive group
practice with significant volume requirements.
For the rest of you – the PSUK APM scheme
is offering a corking discount off tariff on the
vast majority of lines – happy days!
