How Much Can Your Pharmacy Earn from Private Clinical Services?
Private clinical services have become a meaningful revenue stream for UK community pharmacies, with independent practitioners typically charging between £30 and £120 per consultation depending on the clinical service. A pharmacy offering just five private consultations per week at an average fee of £60 can generate over £15,000 in additional annual revenue, with profit margins between 60% and 80%. That sits well above typical NHS dispensing margins set through the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF). This calculator helps pharmacy owners and superintendent pharmacists model their specific revenue opportunity by adjusting consultation volume, average fee, and operating costs to project annual income, profit, and return on investment from adding independent clinical services. The projection assumes use of the RxSure platform, which serves 100+ UK pharmacies at a flat £199 per month with no commission on consultations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can a pharmacist independent practitioner earn from private services?
Earnings vary widely depending on patient demand, consultation fees, and service mix. A pharmacy running 10 private consultations per week at £45 each could generate over £21,000 in annual revenue. Many pharmacies start with 3–5 appointments per week and scale as demand grows.
What are typical private consultation fees in UK pharmacies?
Fees range from £25 for simple conditions (e.g. UTI, hay fever) to £80–£150+ for specialist services (weight management, travel health). Most pharmacies charge £35–£55 for a standard private consultation. The fee should reflect the clinical complexity, time involved, and local market.
What qualifications do I need for private clinical services?
You must hold a valid independent prescribing qualification (V300 for pharmacists) and be annotated as an independent prescriber on the GPhC register. You also need professional indemnity insurance that covers private clinical services. RxSure verifies GPhC registration at sign-up.
What overhead costs should I expect?
Typical overheads for pharmacy private services run 25–40% of revenue. This includes consultation room costs, consumables, staff time, professional indemnity insurance, and platform fees. Overhead is lower for pharmacies with existing consultation rooms and higher for those needing dedicated space or additional staff.
Is this revenue calculator accurate?

The projections use a straightforward revenue model (consultations x fee x weeks) and do not account for seasonal variation or growth curves.
