LinkUp is the new service name for Uniphar’s expanded and improved buying group formerly known as Link. LinkUp offers independent community pharmacy the best value in the market, not only on prescription meds, but also on Over the Counter and Front of Shop products.

As well as being able to buy better in terms Rx, OTC and Front of Shop, LinkUp members will be able to access a range of services to support the running of the business.

The first four service modules are:

Category Management

Regulatory Management Services

Human Resources Services

Claims Management

LinkUp services were developed to ensure that our pharmacy customers’ costs are reduced and returns maximised and that the pharmacy owner is getting full value from every square metre of shop space. We have proven, based on a large number of pilot examples, that we can add up to 25% to the EBITDA of an average independent community pharmacy, which is a fully compliant LinkUp customer.

LinkUp gives independents access to buying value and business supports which used to be the preserve of the multiples.
