Community Pharmacy Design Solutions
Founded in 1998, Retail Design Consultants (RDC) is a renowned pharmacy shopfitting specialist, based in East Kilbride, Scotland. It operates on the core principles of care, commitment, collaboration and communication, providing inspirational and affordable pharmacy design solutions tailored to budget.
“Although we work in other areas, our specialist niche is providing turnkey packages for pharmacies,” explains RDC managing director, David Donaghue. He continues: “In recent years, pharmacies have become more automated, particularly with regard to dispensing and collection. There has also been high demand for additional dispensing workspace. Together, these factors have led to storage space in-store being at a premium.
“Using the latest CAD/CAM design software, we design bespoke solutions for each client, before manufacturing all the tailormade furniture at our facility and then installing it at the pharmacy.
“Many pharmacies are now 24/7 operations, so it is vitally important that when we install a solution, we minimise disruption to their business. The pandemic has added further challenges for us, but the processes we have developed enable us to deliver projects with minimal interruption for the pharmacy……..
……”After careful deliberation we settled on the Homag Sawteq B-130 and the Edgeteq S-240 models. We had seen these machines in action at the Homag showroom in Castle Donington and also at exhibitions. The Homag brand and reputation alone gave us confidence in our decision, but we were also influenced by the service support, spare parts availability, and the peace of mind that come with partnering with the market leader.”
