Profit share partnership for pharmacy owners

We only get paidwhen you do.

We build private services your prescriber can run, set up NHS prescribing properly and find the NHS income you are missing. You pay nothing upfront, then a share of the extra profit we create.

£0 upfront25% of extra profit12 months per service
The deal

Three numbers. That is the whole deal.

£0 upfront, a 25% share of the extra profit, and 12 months per service.

Upfront

£0 to start.

No set up fee and no retainer. We begin with a free health check of your income.

The share

25% of the extra profit.

Only profit above your agreed baseline counts. You keep the other 75%.

How long

12 months. Then it is all yours.

The share stops after 12 months for each service. From month 13 you keep every penny.

75% yours for 12 months
Six ways

Six ways we grow your profit.

Most owners have already claimed what the NHS pays for. The next pound comes from your prescriber and from services people pay for themselves.

Prescribing, set up right

£525

A month from the NHS with a prescriber in the pharmacy 24 hours a week. We handle the sign up, SOPs, IT and paperwork. Start date due shortly.

Private prescribing clinics

£1,080

A month from 10 consultations a week at £25, treating people Pharmacy First and PGDs turn away.

See the clinics

Monthly programmes

Repeat income

Sleep, hair loss, acne and stop smoking. Each patient comes back every month for a paid review.

See the programmes

Blood test and treat

£2,470

A month from 6 tests a week at £95, before lab costs. Results explained and treated in one visit.

How it works

Memberships and partnerships

£1,800

A month from 150 local members at £12, plus local employers and care homes paying every month.

Figures are examples of extra monthly income, based on the 2026/27 pharmacy contract and local prices. Your figures will differ.

The gap

Where Pharmacy First and PGDs stop, your prescriber starts.

Both cover set conditions for set patients. Everyone outside those lines is sent back to the GP. A prescriber can see them, and they will pay for a same day answer.

NHS, free to patients

Pharmacy First

Seven conditions with fixed ages and exclusions, plus five new pathways for prescribing pharmacies. Paid by the NHS, so not a private income stream.

Private

Private PGDs

A fixed list of medicines for people who fit the written criteria. No off-label use, no ongoing care, and a yearly fee for every service.

Private

Your prescriber

Anyone within the prescriber's competence, several problems in one visit, off-label treatment where the evidence supports it, and follow up reviews that bring people back.

Based on the Pharmacy First criteria (May 2026), the five prescribing pathways announced in September 2026 and typical private PGD menus. Checked October 2026.

Private services

Private services your prescriber can run.

Grouped by how they earn. Same day clinics fill quiet hours, monthly programmes bring people back, and specialist extras set you apart from the pharmacy down the road.

Fill the quiet hours

An example day

Same day clinics slot into the gaps around NHS work. Each teal block is a paid private consultation.

NHS work and dispensingPrivate consultationQuiet time

Same day clinics

Walk in or booked. Paid per consultation.

Chest infections

A proper examination, including oxygen levels. Most coughs need no antibiotic, so people pay for the answer, not the pills.

Children's clinic

Evenings and weekends for children younger than Pharmacy First allows, with a paediatric trained prescriber.

Urine infections

Men, people over 65 and people with diabetes, who Pharmacy First turns away.

Ear infections in adults

Middle ear infections that Pharmacy First only covers up to age 17.

Skin, nails and rosacea

Fungal infections, nail infections, eczema flares and facial redness that need prescription treatment.

Hay fever in adults

For adults whose symptoms over the counter products have not controlled.

Gout flares and sprains

Short prescription courses, with kidney, stomach and heart checks first.

Tick bite rash

Same day assessment and treatment, following NICE guidance.

Monthly programmes

A review fee every month. The steadiest income on the page.

123456789101112 +£25 each monthly review

One patient, one year. Every month they stay on a programme brings a paid review.

New

Sleep clinic

For insomnia lasting three months or more. Sleep advice first, then a licensed prescription treatment where NICE supports it, reviewed within three months.

Hair loss

Prescription options for men and women, with blood pressure and pulse checks at every review.

Acne programme

Monthly reviews and changes in treatment until the skin is clear.

Stop smoking

Prescription stop smoking medicines with weekly carbon monoxide checks. Very few smokers are offered them.

Specialist extras

Rarely offered by pharmacies, so they bring people from further away.

Severe sweating

A prescription cream NICE recommended in 2026, for people whose antiperspirants have not worked.

H. pylori test and treat

A breath test in the pharmacy, then treatment in the same week. Red flags go straight to the GP.

Spare adrenaline pens

The MHRA advises carrying two pens at all times. Families need extras for school, work and holidays.

Men's health

Sexual health treatment for men outside the PGD criteria, with a proper check of their heart and medicines.

Migraine prevention

For frequent migraine, beyond the acute treatment the NHS pathway covers, reviewed at three months.

Travel extras

Jet lag, standby treatment for travellers' diarrhoea, and travellers the PGDs exclude, such as people with long term conditions.

What we keep outAntibiotics on demand. Dental infections. Controlled drugs. Aesthetic injectables. Anything needing regular blood monitoring the pharmacy cannot run.

One national chain now charges a flat £19 for a prescriber consultation including treatment. We help you compete on access, examination and follow up, not on price.

Blood test and treat

From finger prick to treatment.

Online kits leave people with a PDF and a question. Your pharmacy gives them the result, the explanation and the treatment in one place.

Step one

Test at the pharmacy

A finger prick or arm sample, sent to an accredited lab. Full blood count, iron stores, B12, folate and vitamin D.

In the lab

Results come back to your prescriber

Not to a PDF in the patient's inbox, so nobody is left to work out their results alone.

Step two

Results consultation

Fifteen minutes with the prescriber, who explains each result and agrees a plan.

Three outcomes

Reassure, treat or refer

Normal results get reassurance. Simple, clear causes are treated on the spot. Red flags go to the GP the same day.

Normal

Reassurance and a reminder to retest in a year.

Simple, clear cause

Treated on the spot and retested in 8 to 12 weeks: low vitamin D, low B12 from diet, low iron stores with heavy periods.

Red flags

A letter to the GP the same day: anaemia in men or after the menopause, B12 with nerve symptoms, or anything else abnormal.

£79

What online panels for vitamin D, B12 and iron cost, with no consultation.

£89 to £99

A pharmacy package of test, results consultation and plan.

£2,470

A month from 6 tests a week at £95, before lab costs, plus paid retests.

We set up the lab partner, the protocols, results and GP letters, and the pricing. Treatment follows NICE guidance, and anything outside the simple cases goes to the GP.

Memberships and partnerships

Monthly income that renews itself.

Three ways to be paid every month, whatever the footfall that week.

Members stack up.

Add 12 or 13 members a month at £12 and the income builds, without selling the same thing twice.

How it works

How it works.

Four steps, and you see every number before anything is due.

Step 1

A free 30 minute call

We learn how your pharmacy runs, who your prescriber is and what your patients ask for.

Step 2

A free health check

We go through six months of claims and payment schedules and agree your baseline in writing.

Step 3

We build it

Prescribing sign up, protocols, pricing, booking, staff scripts and a letter to local GPs.

Step 4

A monthly statement

Extra profit, line by line, from your own figures. You pay 25%. No extra profit, nothing to pay.

Terms

What counts, and what never does.

The share only ever applies to profit we helped create, measured against what you already earn.

Private services, after medicine costsBlood tests, after lab feesMemberships and partnershipsThe NHS prescribing payment, if we set it upRecovered NHS income, once validated and paid
Shared75% yours, 25% ours, for 12 months per service
Dispensing and prescription numbersReferrals from GP practicesPharmacy First and other NHS consultation feesAnything you earned before we started
Always yours100% to you. We never take a share of these.

What if nothing changes?

Then you pay nothing. The share is a percentage of extra profit, so no extra profit means no fee.

How is the baseline set?

From the average of your last six months for each service, agreed in writing before we start, so nobody argues later.

Who does the clinical work?

Your pharmacists and prescriber. We design, train, supervise and report. Patients always choose their pharmacy, and their GP hears about any prescription with their consent.

Can I stop?

Yes, with 30 days' notice for new work. The share on services already running continues to the end of their 12 months.

Is it properly governed?

Everything is built to GPhC guidance for pharmacist prescribers and current NICE guidance, with audits you can show an inspector.

Is VAT included?

The share is plus VAT where it applies. Your accountant will see it clearly on each monthly statement.

Start with a free call.

Thirty minutes, no obligation. We will tell you honestly whether we think we can grow your profit.
