Community pharmacy had remained undeveloped, he said. While the UK’s chief pharmacists were focused on a clinical future, too many pharmacy leaders were hindering progress. “It’s not a lack of leadership that’s the problem, it’s a lack of a common agreed vision.”

AAH parent company McKesson’s acquisition of Northern Ireland wholesaler UnitedDrug Sangers, currently awaiting EU competition clearance, would affect local community pharmacy, said Mr Maguire. He suggested that Numark’s parent company Phoenix would not allow it to continue using UnitedDrug Sangers if it became part of AAH. He also suggested that the acquisition would pave the way for the opening of more Lloydspharmacy branches in Northern Ireland.
Commenting on McKesson’s acquisition of UnitedDrug Sangers, Numark Managing Director John D’Arcy said, “We’re looking to continue our relationship with UnitedDrug Sangers for as long as
possible”. You can read more about his speech in his viewpoint column on page 46.
With recent IT developments such as PharmAssist, Numark Assist and also generics offerings such as Numerics, there is little need to spend hours trawling through price lists when these infrastructures are in place to streamline processes and release pharmacist’s time.
An open debate followed the presentations and centred around the recent Cost of Service Inquiry. There were a number of learnings from England that were passed on to delegates specifically focusing on ensuring that hidden business costs were quantified and reported to ensure pharmacists were adequately and appropriately remunerated. The day culminated in a tour of Gaol and three course dinner.
