Who do I need to speak to?

UniChem strongly recommend that, prior to committing to any investment, anyone wishing to invest in this sector should;

• Make enquiries with local bodies that will affect your business. In particular, you should contact:
  • The local Primary Care Organisation.
  • The local GP’s and Health Centre managers.
  • The local council / planning authority.
  
  These bodies can assist in collecting information regarding local planning developments, potential movement of doctors, and any applications for new or relocating licences within the area.
  
  
• Discuss your ideas with:
  • Your immediate family and potential business partners.
  • Your accountant and solicitor.

Investing in the independent community pharmacy sector can be both professionally and financially rewarding. However, it requires commitment and hard work and your decision should not be undertaken lightly.
