Pharmapod are delighted to announce their new partnership with the UK’s National Pharmacy Association (NPA).

The NPA is the trade association for independent community pharmacy owners in the UK. It has been supporting, protecting and representing community pharmacy for 100 years. Its aim is to help pharmacists succeed professionally and commercially for the benefit of their patients. As a not-for-profit organisation it is committed to reinvesting in service provision. It carefully selects its business partners to guarantee the highest quality of service and products for its members. The NPA-Pharmapod partnership will see Pharmapod support NPA members through delivery of leading software and tools for pharmacy practice, which will help drive patient safety and deliver efficiencies for the pharmacies. Pharmacists will now be able to transmit their patient safety incidents directly from the Pharmapod system directly into the NPA’s Medication Safety Officer (MSO), reducing any double entry, fulfilling reporting obligations and saving pharmacies valuable time.

Special prices for use of Pharmapod tools and resources have now been introduced for NPA members. Please email [email protected] and include the code *NPA2017 for more information.
