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.

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.
Private services are the way out
The pharmacies pulling ahead are the ones running structured, paid-for services off the NHS contract — owned by them, priced by them, not subject to next year's funding settlement.

The opportunity
One in five UK adults uses nicotine.That's your catchment.
Over 20% of UK adults currently smoke or vape — one of the largest addressable private-service categories a community pharmacy can offer. Most of them have already tried to stop at least once, and there's nowhere obvious to go when they relapse.
Quix for Pharmacy puts your pharmacy in front of that demand — locally, by postcode, with clinicians pointing patients in. You own the service. You own the revenue.

For comparison, that's roughly the same monthly contribution as a meaningful number of additional MURs / Pharmacy First consultations — without the NHS admin overhead, and at a price you set.

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.
QuixLink 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 QuixLink works
A signposting layer — not a data integration.
QuixLink is a signposting and routing layer. Local GPs and dentists can point adult patients toward your pharmacy's nicotine-reduction service, and patients can find their nearest participating pharmacy by location.
QuixLink moves no patient records. It's signposting, not referral — patients choose to visit, and present at your pharmacy themselves.
