After 20 years in the Pharmacy refitting industry and understanding the pressure pharmacists find themselves under when they need to update their premises without disruption, we decided to develop a practical solution. Portapharma.UK was born out of necessity following a series of complex refits and was developed to eliminate downtime.
After careful planning and research we came up with our prototype which has now been in use on several projects and passed by GPC inspection. Portapharma.UK launched its first 6 meter portable unit at the NEC Pharmacy Show in 2016 and received glowing reviews.
Initially designed to assist with refits, we soon discovered the scope of this product. We now have a range of units to suit your needs, equipped for pharmacy, GP consultation rooms and secure document storage.
Portapharma.uk can be deployed in any emergency situation and is a must have in your emergency contingency planning.
We had a redesign and fit out of our dispensary that meant services would have to be re located, wanting to support our patients and staff, the 20 ft portapharma was installed in our car park with no fuss and completed ready for use within 3 hours. Really would recommend this for your refits
Portapharma supplied our 40 ft unit to the refit of Downlands new extended dispensary in 2018. The Practice manager said, “The additional use of the Portapharma was a real benefit to the practice and patients during our refit, it made a real difference to a complex re build. A big Thanks to Richard and the Team.
The PortaPharma UK unit allowed our pharmacy to operating during renovation work. The practicalities for a product like this within the pharmacy industry cannot be underestimated. Gone are the days when Pharmacies are allowed to close during refits. The portable pharmacy unit eliminated disruption to normal service during the works with no loss of custom. I only wish they had built the larger unit a few months earlier, however we will be using it on our next project.
We recently installed our latest robot picking solution and new shelving system into the Pharmacy. This meant we had to completely vacate the premises for some 6 weeks whilst the building and installation took place. We looked at various alternative spaces, non were suitable or involved a full re location at increased costs and disruption to services. Through our shelving provider we were introduced to Portapharma and their range of portable dispensaries. We were delighted and reassured by their quick and detailed response to our location problem. The 40 ft Portapharma was delivered to a very difficult site and installed within a morning. The Staff and I were amazed beyond our expectations as to the layout, finish and equipment the unit employs and worked so well staff were reluctant to hand it back once the shop was complete. This product and Portapharmas approach allowed the store to continue to offer a full service to our customers and reduce disruption to sales and service to zero. Delighted to recommend this product if you are considering full refits. Well done Portapharma.
