Beyond the counter: Automating what really holds pharmacies back

Since the NHS budget cuts in 2015, pharmacy revenue streams have been under pressure.
Meanwhile, overheads and workforce costs have continued to rise.

Much of this burden is hidden.

Evolving regulatory frameworks increasingly tie up your best people in admin-heavy compliance work, pulling pharmacists away from patient care and clinical delivery.

This sucks up valuable time.

And the downstream effect? The wider team progresses only as fast as mandated training allows, slowing service delivery, growth, and engagement.

In this session, we speak with Ketan Agravat, Director of Operations at Pearl Chemist, who successfully escaped the drag of legacy responsibilities by solving the employee training and operational compliance challenge through automation.

You’ll hear how they:
-Freed up pharmacist time by confidently delegating down
-Unlocked higher engagement through individual learning ownership
-Achieved peace of mind across a complex regulatory framework

These hidden burdens must be addressed as pharmacies shift into clinical service delivery.

The pharmacy of the future is free from the burdens of the past; this session looks at how successful pharmacies have already done that.
