Cencora Alliance Healthcare stand at The Pharmacy Show (UK)

The Pharmacy Show, the UK's largest trade show and education conference for the community and primary care pharmacy sector, once again brought the industry together in a vibrant celebration of innovation, learning, and collaboration.

Cencora team members proudly secured stand G35 with a vibrant Cencora Alliance Healthcare stand this year. The event saw over 8,500 healthcare and pharmacy professionals in attendance. With 300 exhibitors and more than 150 educational sessions led by over 200 speakers, it was a hub of ideas and insights designed to shape the future of pharmacy.

For Cencora, this year’s Pharmacy Show was particularly special. It marked our first time exhibiting in 12 years and served as the perfect stage to unveil our fresh branding. Our new identity—Cencora—represents our unwavering commitment to keeping the patient at the centre of everything we do, with ‘Cen’ symbolising the centre and ‘cora’ representing the heart. Our stand embodied this evolution, showcasing our expanded services and dedication to empowering pharmacy professionals. 

As part of our return, we proudly sponsored the Pharmacy Owners Forum, a cornerstone of the event that provided invaluable guidance on key topics such as revenue generation, expanding private services, and practical business advice. The forum also explored blueprints for business expansion, administrative and legal essentials, advertising strategies, weight management services, and understanding the rights and obligations of pharmacy owners. These sessions were designed to arm attendees with the tools and knowledge they need to grow their businesses and thrive in an ever-changing industry.

Among the many highlights, Mandeep Mudhar, Head of Alphega Pharmacy (UK) led a session on “The Importance of Creating Efficiencies and Headroom in Your Pharmacy”. His talk resonated deeply with attendees, offering actionable strategies to streamline operations and create space for growth in a demanding healthcare landscape.

Over the course of the two-day event, we engaged with an incredible number of visitors, capturing over 195 pieces of feedback and hot leads. It was inspiring to see so many healthcare professionals stopping by our stand to share how much they enjoy working with us and to discuss how we can continue to support them in delivering exceptional care to their patients. 

The Pharmacy Show was not just an event - it was a moment of transformation, connection, and inspiration. For Cencora, it reaffirmed our mission and strengthened our resolve to be a trusted partner for the pharmacy community. As we look to the future, we are more committed than ever to driving innovation, supporting growth, and keeping the heart of healthcare - our patients -at the centre of all we do.
