Reviews of the Pharmacy Marketing Formulary (PMF)

‘I was honoured to read this book before the launch. A must read for pharmacists wanting to ensure they understand what the people who use their services need and want. Highly recommended.’

Robbie Turner @RobbieMTurner

‘We need the Pharmacy Marketing Formulary. As a profession times are changing and they are changing fast. For us to succeed and survive we need more education on something that is very alien to most of us (Marketing). What the PMF helped me understand was that I needed to get my head around this new changing world and it helped me to be inspired to feel and believe that I could do it. That I could gain the skills and confidence to take control of my business and life.

Bernadette Brown, Owner of Cadham Pharmacy
