What is an onsite hub pharmacy?
An onsite hub pharmacy is a centralised, mostly automated, facility that handles the dispensing and assembly of prescriptions on behalf of circa 250 branches. The branch receives the prescription, while the "hub" picks, labels, and assembles the medication, often using large-scale robotics. The assembled medication is returned to the branch, typically on a next-day service, for patient collection.
