PMA at the Pharmacy Show 2025

The Pharmacy Show 2025 delivered a rich blend of thought-leadership and practical insight, making it a must-attend for pharmacy professionals everywhere. Throughout the two-day event, delegates were treated to a packed agenda of educational sessions that addressed frontline issues such as the evolving role of community pharmacy, digital transformation, workforce pressures and new patient-care models. The partnership between PMA & NPA ensured that independent pharmacy voice and commitment to a multi-disciplinary Primary Care was heard loud and clear. 

Exhibitors brought compelling innovation to life across the show, with innovations underscoring the shift from purely product-led displays towards solutions that reshape workflows and patient engagement. The exhibitors brought dynamism and tangible impact, with cutting-edge solutions, from automation robots to HR and compliance platforms aimed at streamlining staff management. What impressed me most was how suppliers didn’t just present products, they engaged in live demos and dialogue with pharmacy and general practice teams helping to translate innovation into practice. Attendees left with realistic ideas about workflow optimisation, patient engagement and business sustainability – and how to deliver actionable change. 

The audience matched the calibre of the event. Attendees were inquisitive, progressive and deeply engaged… Delegate interacting with exhibitors, asking sharp questions in sessions and seeking actionable insight around people development, tools, process and workflows. Conversation pivoted away from old-school thinking to innovation and the broader pharmacy opportunity: integrated services, data-driven care, patient convenience and community-based interventions. What stood out was how the event recognised pharmacy’s changing role; not just as a medicine-dispensing hub, but as a cornerstone of neighbourhood healthcare. 

The Pharmacy Show 2025 balanced strategic insight, practical tools and forward-thinking innovation, all underpinned by a community ready to evolve… It was a pivotal moment and an inspiring call to action.
