About Pharmacy Plus Health:
Our vision is to transform community pharmacy from a primarily dispensing focus to a service- led role. In combination with our parent company HubRx we will liberate the pharmacy team from the daily dispensing to focus on delivering clinical services to patients. We need to support the pharmacy team on their transformation journey to free up capacity and reach their full clinical potential.
Our aim is to have an Independent Prescriber in every branch to rethink what our local pharmacy can do, delivering more profitable clinical services and supporting the local doctors and the NHS. This is an exciting time to join our new business as we transform pharmacy. By shifting the emphasis away from dispensing and retail, we will turn our pharmacies into the destination of choice for patients seeking consultations and treatment for everyday health conditions.
Our Alwoodley pharmacy is located next to the medical centre in this North Leeds suburb, close to the retail park and with good access to the ring road.
