Set up private clinical services in your pharmacy
Turn your pharmacy into a thriving clinical hub. MedLRN gives you the training, governance, and business support to launch profitable private services with confidence.
Grow new income streams beyond dispensing
NHS margins are tighter than ever. MedLRN helps community pharmacies build private clinical services that diversify income, deepen patient relationships, and make full use of your team's clinical skills.
How MedLRN helps you set up
End-to-end support — from the clinical training through to the systems, paperwork, and business plan.
Clinical training
Practical CPD that gets you and your team confident and competent in the services you want to offer — built and delivered by working clinicians.
SOPs & governance
Standard operating procedures, consultation templates, consent forms, and a clinical governance framework so every service is safe and audit-ready.
Business setup
Pricing, room layout, online booking, marketing to your local community, and the numbers behind a service that actually pays for itself.
Private prescribing
Guidance for independent prescribers on launching a private prescribing service, including formulary, indemnity, and record-keeping considerations.
Team upskilling
Bring your whole team along — technicians and support staff included — so services run smoothly without depending on a single person.
Ongoing mentoring
You're not on your own after launch. Access clinical and business mentoring as your service grows and new opportunities appear.
Services you can launch
Popular private services we help pharmacies set up. We'll help you choose the right mix for your location and team.
Private prescribing & treatment clinics
- Weight management services
- Minor illness & common conditions
- Women's health & menopause support
- ADHD and mental health pathways
- Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)
Services available to you depend on your professional registration, prescribing status, and local regulations. We help you scope what's appropriate before you launch.
Walk-in & appointment services
- Travel health clinic & vaccinations
- Ear care & microsuction
- Health checks & screening
- Aesthetics & skin (where appropriate)
- Phlebotomy & private blood testing
Each service needs the right training, equipment, and SOPs. MedLRN helps you stand each one up properly rather than rushing to launch.

MedLRN helped us launch a private weight-management clinic in weeks — the training, the SOPs, and the booking setup were all handled. It's now one of our most valued services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from pharmacy owners and teams setting up private services.
Do I need to be an independent prescriber?
Not for every service. Many services — such as travel health, ear care, and health screening — don't require prescribing. Prescribing-led clinics do need a qualified independent prescriber, and we can help you on that pathway too.
How long does it take to launch a service?
It depends on the service and your starting point. Some can be ready within a few weeks once training is complete; prescribing-led clinics take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the discovery stage.
Do you help with the business side too?
Yes. Pricing, room setup, online booking, local marketing, and the financial case are all part of how we help — not just the clinical training.
What about clinical governance and indemnity?
We provide SOPs, consent templates, and a governance framework, and we point you to the indemnity and regulatory considerations for each service. You remain responsible for your own registration, indemnity, and compliance.
Can my whole team be trained?
Absolutely. We encourage upskilling pharmacists, technicians, and support staff so services don't depend on one person and run smoothly day to day.
Will you support us after launch?
Yes. Ongoing clinical and business mentoring is available so you can refine, grow, and add new services with confidence over time.
