Numark has launched a toolkit to help pharmacies determine the right strategy for their business in light of funding cuts.

The toolkit advises Numark members on how to make the most of the new funding package and ensure that their pharmacies obtain the maximum level of funding from the new Quality Payments Scheme. It also gives examples of how pharmacies can take advantage of Numark support to increase margins, maximise on available income streams, and significantly increase their bottom line.

John D’Arcy, Numark's managing director, said: “Since the cuts were announced, we have been engaging in daily conversations with our members, discussing the issues they now face and advising them on how they can cope with the imposition of these cuts in a positive and pragmatic manner.

“The toolkit encourages members to keep in close contact with our team of specialists working at head office to support them, in particular the Information Services team who provide free confidential advice to members on a range of issues and have a detailed understanding of the new funding package.”

Members can access the toolkit and other support services via www.numarknet.com.
