The Informacist was started in 2005. When the new pharmacy contractual framework came in Lynda & Chris both thought that it was a hell of a lot of work for the independents. So we decided that we could act as a virtual “Head Office” function for independent pharmacists.

.

Using our 20 years of experience in the industry, having owned a small chain of up to seven independent pharmacies we begun by writing Standard Operating Procedures which you can take and very quickly adapt to your own style of working in your pharmacy. We added a practice leaflet and intelligent ways of recording data on paper and on the computer with our Forms discs.

.

You will see we have since added a Clinical Audit made easy CD which y ou can use to quickly perform all the audits you need for a couple of years, and are currently working on a Staff Employment Contract and additions to our forms and SOP CDs.

.

Our Patient Survey system beats everyone else on the market for both SERVICE and price.

.

Our current training concentrates mainly on achieving CPD in a most efficient way. You can gain four to five pieces of CPD evidence in a single, very enjoyable day, meet colleagues and discuss your shared problems, and when you pay in advance for the workshop you get extra discounts. We also occasionally run a Business Booster course which is very beneficial in taking your business to the "Next level" which lso counts towards CPD.

.

When you need a little more in depth and specific help we also provide you with the full benefit of our experience by consulting with you in your business. We are pretty good at marketing, helping staff develop and grow, and showing you the hidden profit centres in your business. Probably the most useful thing for you is the analysis by experienced individuals who are outside your business.
