NHS funding is shrinking
The Pharmacy First envelope and Global Sum keep tightening. Item-fee work earns less in real terms every year, and the volume needed to stand still keeps rising.
For UK community pharmacies
Set up a private smoking & vaping clinic in your pharmacy.
The average pharmacy PMR holds 6,000+ patients. Between compliant PMR outreach and Quix Connect signposting, we help you bring those smokers and vapers through the door — and turn it into £30k+ a month in private revenue.

Why now
You can't out-dispense the funding squeeze.
Community pharmacy has been asked to do more for less for the better part of a decade. Private services are no longer a nice-to-have — they're how independent pharmacies protect margin and stay in control of their own P&L.
Costs keep climbing
Wages, locum rates, energy and stock have all moved one way. A typical community pharmacy is running harder for the same — or thinner — margin.
A private clinic is the way out
The pharmacies pulling ahead are the ones running structured, paid-for services off the NHS contract. A private smoking & vaping clinic is owned by you, priced by you, and not subject to next year's funding settlement.

The opportunity
Your PMR already holds your clinic's first patients.
The average community pharmacy has 6,000+ patients on its PMR. Around 1 in 5 of them smoke or vape — one of the largest private-service categories a pharmacy can offer. Most have already tried to stop at least once, and there's nowhere obvious to go when they relapse.
Quix for Pharmacy sets up a private smoking & vaping clinic in your pharmacy and uses compliant PMR outreach plus Quix Connect signposting to bring them in. You own the clinic. You own the revenue.

Your existing asset
From PMR list to clinic footfall.
You don't need to find new patients. We help you reach the smokers and vapers already on your PMR with compliant outreach, then layer on Quix Connect signposting so local GPs and dentists send even more your way.

The missing cadence
Dentists and pharmacies don't have a reliable handoff.
GPs, dentists and community pharmacies all see the same nicotine patient — but there's no consistent rhythm between them. Conversations end at the chair or in the consult room, and patients drift away without a next step.
Quix Connect is the connective tissue. It gives clinicians a clear, local place to point relapsed patients — and brings high-intent patients through your door, already primed for the conversation.
- A repeatable cadence between clinicians and pharmacy.
- Patients arrive ready to buy — not cold footfall.
- Signposting only — no records move, no admin overhead.

How Quix Connect works
A signposting layer — not a data integration.
Quix Connect is a signposting and routing layer. Local GPs and dentists can point adult patients toward your pharmacy's private smoking & vaping clinic, and patients can find their nearest participating pharmacy by location.
Quix Connect moves no patient records. It's signposting, not referral — patients choose to visit, and present at your pharmacy themselves.
