Background
Introduction
The retail pharmacy industry continues to undergo enormous challenges that result in various changes to the environment in which pharmacies operate. National Pharmacies is not immune to these challenges. The adoption of strong business disciplines and keen attention to the development of sustainable competitive advantages are the focus for National Pharmacies to remain viable and to retain a position of innovation, leadership and growth. National Pharmacies is committed to further develop relationships with its suppliers so that positive outcomes can be shared with key business partners.
The document is now ongoing and divided into two key areas.
- Terms of Trade Agreement
- Business Development Plan
The Terms of Trade Agreement is a document that outlines the key operating parameters of trade between National Pharmacies and its suppliers. These terms of trade may be ongoing or change through written notice from either party.

Supplements (credit policies, franchise agreements etc.) from either party that assist with understanding these terms of trade must be attached. Individual brand terms should also be attached.
The Business Development Plan is a 12-month promotional program that aims to increase the business of both National Pharmacies and the supplier. The intent is to utilise available BDF funds to promote products that satisfy mutual business objectives.
