The Independent Community Pharmacist is a monthly magazine and dedicated web resource specifically for independent retail pharmacists.
There are just over 13000 pharmacies in the UK, these are divided into two distinct groups:
- The multiples, making up around half the total number of outlets dominated by Alliance Boots, Lloyds, the Co-op, Superdrug and the supermarket chains.
- The Independents, comprising single outlets and small chains, also making up around half the total number of outlets
Because The Independent Community Pharmacist only goes to independents we are able to deliver a unique editorial content tailored specifically to their needs and reflecting their views and concerns.
Since its launch in 1990, The Independent Community Pharmacist has remained a firm favourite with independents. Click here to download the latest independent readership research.
