your portfolio 2: New and Improved Healthcare, Retail
and Business Solutions for Independent Pharmacy
UniChem has unveiled a new and improved package designed to
meet the business and healthcare needs of independent community pharmacy. your
portfolio 2 is a development of the previous your portfolio
catalogue, which has been revised and improved based on customer
feedback and as a result of leveraging the wealth of expertise and knowledge
across Alliance Boots.
The new catalogue encompasses a range of improved retail offerings including
high quality retail displays comparable with those used in leading high street
stores, seasonal and healthcare posters and improved POS displays that can be
supplied electronically and customised for the specific pharmacy. The catalogue
now also offers pharmacy branding packages, with the opportunity for pharmacies
to customise and brand their marketing materials.
As well as the improved retail offerings, the new catalogue also details a
number of new healthcare and business support solutions designed to meet the
growing needs of community pharmacies in these areas. Following the recent
successful trial, the diabetes screening package in association with Roche
Diagnostics is being offered as part of your portfolio 2.
Plans are also being finalised for the piloting of a cholesterol screening
package also in association with Roche.
The catalogue also now offers a range of consultation area information points in
association with Omron, plus a variety of health and safety and security tools
and signage. your portfolio 2 also encompasses the UniChem
People Solutions guide, which offers pharmacies a comprehensive guide to
recruitment, induction and people management within the pharmacy.
Commenting on your portfolio 2, Jeremy Main, Sales and
Marketing Director, says: “This has been an excellent opportunity for us to use
the very best of the knowledge and experience that we have across the Group to
bring an improved offering to our independent customers in the form of your
portfolio 2. Within the wider Group, we have vast experience in
pharmacy retail, strong relationships with pharmaceutical suppliers and a
wealth of experience of working with Independent Community Pharmacy. your
portfolio 2 has been designed to tap in to each of these strengths
to provide a package that is carefully tailored to meet both the retailing
and professional needs of a modern pharmacy.”
your portfolio 2 will be available to UniChem customers in
mid-August 2007. For more information customers can contact UniChem on 0208 974
