We're PillPacPlus



About PillPacPlus

Over 100 years experience.

PillPacPlus was born in 2014 but our experience in healthcare services goes back a long way before then. Between us, we have over 100 years experience in the pharmaceutical industry. PillPacPlus was started, and is still owned by Pharmacists.

Stephen & Gillian have been running pharmacies in Ballymena for over 15 years.

"We really wanted to provide a better way to help our patients manage their medication as we realised that the traditional methods for medication dispensing were not up to the quality that our customers deserved.

After months of research, we decided that the sachet system was the best for our patients as it has been provided across the world with great success. Then things started to grow... We began sachet production in our central pharmacy in Ballymena, Northern Ireland with a small number of patients and within a few months we found ourselves supplying over 500 patients with their medication in the sachets prepared by ‘Hewbert’ the robot. We realised very quickly just how much of a positive impact these sachets had on our patients, so we decided to start working in partnership with other pharmacies across the country to make this product widely available. It is our desire to have the PillPacPlus service available to everyone across the UK and Ireland."
