Company description
The BAPW represents full line pharmaceutical distributors who between them provide 90% of the nation’s medicines, covering all of the UK’s population. We provide a forum for discussion across the industries involved in the provision of pharmaceuticals to Britain’s health services.
Products and services
BAPW act as the link between manufacturers and doctors, pharmacists and hospitals, taking delivery of medicines; storing them safely and securely until they are needed by customers; then delivering them, as required, quickly and efficiently to wherever they are needed by patients. But full-line wholesalers don’t just provide a simple supply service:
• They stock the entire range of 20,000 licensed medicines, ready for dispatch at any time
• They operate around the clock, around the year
• They provide around half of all the computer equipment used in pharmacies;
They offer banking, merchandising and business development advice to pharmacists.
