PSNC's Sue Sharpe Addresses Packed Theatre at Pharmacy Show 2009

Sue Sharpe, Chief Executive of the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee (PSNC) and another keynote speaker at the show, said that the pharmacy sector was in need of a large scale forum to tackle key issues confronting the sector. “I was amazed by just how many people attended. There is clearly an appetite for this kind of event where pharmacy contractors can combine valuable education and training with trading on the exhibition floor.”

Mike Smith, Chairman of Alliance Healthcare, said the Pharmacy Show was one of the most important events for the pharmacy community and added, “It`s a very important event from which to address the challenges of the future. Community pharmacies that embrace change will have a bright future, those that don’t will be dead in the water.”

More than 200 UK and international suppliers reported brisk trading on the exhibition floor which was 27% bigger than the previous year.

Steve Voyse, Commercial Manager of one of the industry`s leading suppliers, Numark, commented: “The first day was the busiest we’ve ever seen.”

Gabriella Dann, Key Account Business Development Manager of automated packaging specialists MTS Technology said that leads from both independent pharmacies and major multiples had increased significantly: “We’ve had huge amounts of interest and leads generated. We even made sales on the stand – which we weren’t expecting. We’ve booked a larger stand for next year.
