Delivering capacity, efficiency & profitability
Release 15 hours a day and £109,000 of new profit* a year with HubRx
We have developed the UK’s first, large-scale automated dispensing facility designed specifically to benefit independent pharmacies. The £15m hub is the first of its kind and provides a new model for pharmacies to re-engineer their dispensing and deliver higher-value clinical services:
- The UK’s most advanced automated facility, designed and developed by the industry experts
- Full PMR integration with technology partner RxWeb
- Simple cost-plus model: medicines plus HubRx fee
- Improved at-scale buying margins
- Stock reduction and Direct to Patient delivery opportunities
- Massive increase in branch capacity for clinical services
With no capital, implementation or management costs, HubRx is ready to help you transform your pharmacy business in 2025
HubRx: The Vision
The pharmacy sector is at a breaking point and cannot survive by relying on dispensing income from a broken NHS contract alone. A viable future must be based around accessing a range of NHS and private clinical services in high volumes. Creating significant capacity to deliver these higher margin services is key.
HubRx will release over 15 hours* a day

Ready to help and support independent pharmacy in 2025
We’re disappointed by the Department of Health and Social Care’s recent decision to postpone the promised changes to hub and spoke dispensing, which was due to take effect in January 2025.
This change to dispensing regulation will enable a choice for independent pharmacies that they’ve not previously had. It’s a choice which we believe passionately will make a huge impact to not only independent pharmacies but also their patients.
It is why we’ve created HubRx -www.hubrx.co.uk – the UK’s first, large-scale automated dispensing facility designed solely for independents.
We hope that a quick decision will be made to finalise amendments and allow independents access to a capacity-creation service that could help them deliver the NHS Pharmacy First volumes many are struggling to meet.
In our own pharmacies, HubRx has released an average of 15 hours per day of pharmacist time, which has helped increase the delivery of NHS services by more than 400% in some cases.
