Get expert answers to all your questions from the former Head of Pricing at PSNC, who helped to agree the concession pricing, and a member of the current PSNC negotiating team.

Better understand how price concessions are set, why we have so many lines now and how they impact/are accounted for across wider community pharmacy funding.

Understand the importance of:

  • Ensuring correct information is continually fed into PSNC for accurate price setting
  • Effective procurement and how certain factors can affect your bottom line
  • Why the factors we’ve talked about in this webinar series so far could signal that a change in funding is needed

Key benefits of this webinar:

  • How are price concessions set, why does it take so long?
  • How price concessions affect margin delivery and how this is accounted for
  • How to ensure efficient procurement
  • Find out more about the long term sustainability of the current funding model
  • How the current funding system may be disadvantaging independents and why a new system may be in order
