IPCN to Represent Grassroots Independent Pharmacies at The Pharmacy Show 2025: Stand K32

The Independent Pharmacy Contractors Network (IPCN) is proud to announce that we will be exhibiting at this year’s Pharmacy Show, taking place at the NEC Birmingham. You’ll find us at Stand K32, where our team will be on hand to represent the voice of grassroots independent contractors across the UK.

As the UK’s first pharmacy-owned cooperative, IPCN was built by contractors, for contractors. We exist to support, protect and empower independent community pharmacies through shared expertise, collaborative strength, and collective action. Our mission is simple: to ensure independents not only survive but thrive in an evolving healthcare landscape.

At this year’s Pharmacy Show, the IPCN Board and regional leads will be available throughout the event to:

Represent the interests of independent contractors and discuss the national challenges facing our sector.

Showcase IPCN’s growing cooperative network, our member benefits, and partner collaborations.

Offer practical advice and support on setting up and scaling private clinical services, business development, and operational resilience.

Engage with current and prospective members about our campaigns, advocacy work, and upcoming initiatives designed to strengthen the independent voice.

Whether you’re an independent owner, superintendent pharmacist, or part of a wider contractor group, IPCN invites you to visit Stand K32 and join the movement that’s reshaping the future of independent pharmacy.

“We’re here to give independents a stronger, united voice, one that influences, informs, and inspires,” said Tas Bhatti, IPCN Founding Director.
“Our cooperative model proves that when independents come together, we are far greater than the sum of our parts.”

Come and meet the IPCN team, share your challenges, and discover how membership can help your pharmacy achieve more, together.
