Signagelive provides digital signage to 900 pharmacist


Healthpoint Technologies Ltd, is the owner-provider of Health- point TV (a digital signage of- fering to the community phar- macy market). Healthpoint TV has worked with Signagelive and its content management system for nearly 10 years. The company has over seventy years of experience in the community pharmacy market and its cur- rent MD, John White, is both a pharmacist and previously owned a pharmacy. The compa- ny Sales Director, George Bax- ter, has a vast range of business experience in the technology field and has been with Health- point for over seventeen years. Healthpoint Technologies Ltd


itself has been established in the UK for twenty years – ini- tially promoting a touchscreen


health information facility but now, exclusively, digital TV in the form of internal and win- dow screens. “We have provid- ed digital screens with content to nearly 900 pharmacies in the

overseen the entire roll-out pro- gram and is delighted that Sig- nagelive have partnered with LG to have the Signagelive soft- ware already installed in their System-on-Chip webOS mod- els. This means that the use of a media player is not required - plus the fact the playlist is not streamed thus occupying bandwidth, but is held locally


and can be updated quickly and easily.


In a rapidly evolving health care market, Healthpoint TV has experienced unprecedent- ed growth in the last three years. The emphasis in com- munity pharmacy has changed from a business heavily de- pendent on NHS prescription income to one that is provid- ing a wide range of both NHS and Private


clinical services


to customers. With the severe cuts in the profitability of NHS dispensing instituted by a se- ries of governments over the past 15 years, the community pharmacy market has had to take on these clinical services and increase counter sales to counteract the loss of income. These services range from smoking cessation clinics, ear wax removal, flu jabs, travel vaccination and asthma clinics. The changes have had severe consequences on the marketing of community pharmacy. From a business that previously did not have to market themselves they have had to embrace web- sites, social media and new ad- vertising channels. The answer for many pharmacies to the last of these requirements is Healthpoint TV. Thanks to Head of Content, Melanie Baxter,

is possible to deliver specific, high-quality and tailor-made content to all our customers. This content reflects both the services the customer wishes to promote and the products that will drive sales.


Scotland has led this trans- formation with the introduction from the 1st April 2020 of an initiative where community pharmacy is the first point of contact in primary care for pa- tients. This is a radical transi- tion from the traditional role of

pharmacies. It is a great way to promote all our services and retail offers in our phar- macies. There is great support every step of the way. Mahyar Nickkho-Amiry, MRPharmS. Managing Director and Super- intendent Pharmacist for Dears Pharmacy said: “We have in- stalled Healthpoint TV in our pharmacy, and it has helped send


important messages to


our community, help promote new services and products in a very professional and clinical manner. One of the best invest- ments I have made!” In Wales, a growing number of pharma- cies are embracing the Health- point TV concept: “We are ex- tremely pleased with our new Healthpoint TV, which has at- tracted considerable attention! It’s great that we are complete- ly in control of the content and


can easily change the offers and services we televise, said Huw Evans, Owner of Newbury Pharmacy Mumbles, Swansea/ The EPOS studies Health- point has carried out, plus the feedback received from cus- tomers, clearly demonstrates a dramatic increase in count- er sales and an uptake in the use of services. In other words, Healthpoint TV in combination with Signagelive drives sales and profits. The functionality in the Signagelive CMS allows us to assemble specific play- lists for specific stores that meet both the pharmacy and geographical requirements with minimal fuss.


One of the huge develop- ments for Healthpoint TV is the installation of digital window screens that allow the phar- macy to dispense with window posters and provide up to date and relevant information in a modern informative manner. This Signagelive development


will allow customers to view their playlist without having to stand outside and watch the whole playlist. In-store digital advertising in HD is the future of retailing and Healthpoint TV, with the assistance of Signage- live, is the leader in the phar- macy field.


George Baxter, Sales Director, Healthpoint commented: “Hav- ing worked with Healthpoint TV since they first started with our service, it’s been great to see how they’ve evolved alongside the Signagelive platform in how they are able to deliver signage to their locations. Both our user interface features and Media Players have undergone a lot of enhancement since they first began and likewise our ability to support customers has also changed, with the introduction of Live Chat, Help Centre, Pre- mium Support and self-service; ensuring we continue to offer the best level of support we can.”
