Pharmacy Daily | King Island pharmacy re-opens

Pharmacy Alliance member King Island Pharmacy has literally risen from the ashes, re-opening earlier this month after being destroyed by fire in an arson attack during January this year. Co-owned by Pharmacy Alliance founder Simon Reynolds, the pharmacy has been operating since then on a temporary basis from a small consulting room at the local hospital with a focus on supplying prescription medicines. “We cannot thank the local healthcare staff enough...these people gave up their consulting space within the hospital to allow us to continue to service the local community,” Reynolds said. After the fire quick responses from key suppliers including Sigma, Guild Insurance and IT providers enabled King Island Pharmacy to promptly recommence operations. Now re-established in a new building, the pharmacy is 20% bigger than before, allowing it to offer an expanded range - and at the same time it has been completely re-branded under the Alliance Pharmacy brand.
