Hub-and-Spoke: Making it a reality
)
Community Pharmacy England (CPE) announced on the 30 April that the government has laid new amendments to the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (HMR), allowing pharmacies not owned by the same legal entity to start hub-and-spoke dispensing by the end of October.
The new legislation will allow smaller independent pharmacies, who have previously been excluded, to benefit from the same model, as pharmacies belonging to different legal entities will be able to use hubs operated by other companies. With these upcoming changes, many independents will likely be exploring the business case for hub-and-spoke.
At The Pharmacy Show 2024, Gareth Jones, Director of corporate affairs at the National Pharmacy Association (NPA), delivered an insightful presentation examining the implications of the upcoming changes to the law.
