Community pharmacy is facing significant and growing pressure a new survey finds- and patients are already seeing the effects.
• 75% of pharmacies are losing money, with just 14% profitable
• Almost all pharmacies are seeing rising costs year on year

Our latest survey results highlight the ongoing challenge of medicines supply. "Pharmacy teams report that in 88% of pharmacies, patients are being asked to visit multiple pharmacies to find medicines" and 86% of pharmacies say sourcing medicines is taking longer than last year.
In 30% of pharmacies, procuring medicines is now taking longer than ever before.
These pressures continue to affect both pharmacy teams and the patients they support.
