It is a great pleasure to be part of an evening that celebrates the exceptional standards of care that pharmacies in Scotland deliver.

We deliver this support to our Scotland members through our Pharmacy Development Managers; Michael McSorley and Colin Miller, our head office team, our website
www.numarknet.com and our wholesale division in Phoenix.
Our members benefit from market leading initiatives such as Numark Assist PMR in partnership with EMIS Health and PharmAssist, the integrated IT buying solution. With the continued complexity of distribution deals, PI availability and generics sourcing, we offer a fully integrated PMR solution tailored to your buying and freeing up time.
We are delighted at the uptake of pharmacists trained to administer flu vaccinations with our support. Scottish pharmacists trained to administer vaccinations are ensuring they are best placed to provide this service should it be offered in a Scotland contract in the future.
We look forward to supporting you even further over the coming years. DEBORAH REEVES– REGIONAL SALES MANAGER, NUMARK
