Independent Pharmacists working together
Avicenna was founded in 1992 by a small group of progressive independent pharmacists with a vision to combine their strengths and to give their businesses a more competitive edge.
Today we are growing, and with over 1000 members, we remain committed to protecting and nurturing the business of independent pharmacies across the UK.
Flourish with us
Avicenna offers the right support network to help you to flourish in today's changing business environment. We can help keep you ahead of the competition from the multiples and supermarkets, update you on industry legislation and give you independent advice on growing your profitability.
You benefit twice
Uniquely Avicenna members can benefit in two ways; first as a trading member and secondly as a shareholder. We offer the chance for members to benefit further by joining the ACE membership programme to get even better profit share options.
Surprisingly different
- Not all buying groups are like us:
- We are fully independent with no wholesaler ownership
- The company belongs to its members and new joiners who benefit from a profit share scheme
- Benefit from added value with ACE membership
- Our directors are pharmacists so they fully understand members' day-to-day and long-term needs
- Community spirit drives our ethos. We support both local and international charities
