What’s next for English

Pharmacy Funding — and

how we can help you prepare

Let’s not sugar-coat it, pharmacy funding in England has been under pressure for years.
The latest deal doesn’t fix everything, but it does give community pharmacy some
breathing space. What matters now is what you do next

That’s where Numark comes in.

We’re here to help you not just understand the uplift, but action it, turning new
opportunities into real outcomes. From clinical tools and training to marketing and
business planning, we’ve got your back.

One step ahead of the game

Numark Chairman Harry McQuillan
summed it up best:

“Now we’ve got an uplift in the fees,
we’ve got an uplift to the amount
of retained margin the network can
keep — and Pharmacy First has got
increased fees and new thresholds
and bandings applied to it, which I

think is great.”

He also recognised the growing need to protect
your time and reduce the admin load:

Community pharmacy has done
particularly well in reducing the
bureaucracy involved in claiming and
operating the contract.”

And crucially, our aim is to do the
thinking for you — staying ahead so
you can too:

“If you’ve been one of our
members who’ve managed to
get in and get one of the 400

apprenticeship places, it’s
another example of us trying
to get ahead of the curve.”
