The Independent Company Chemist Alliance (ICCA) was launched at this year's Pharmacy Live exhibition which formed part of the British Pharmaceutical Conference in Birmingham on September 10 to11.
The alliance, an association of privately owned community pharmacy multiples, currently represents over 600 pharmacies throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The group has been formed to provide "opportunities for high quality pharmacy groups with similar objectives and values to work together for mutual benefit while maintaining their commercial independence."
