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 4022.
