AS MANAGING director of Associated Chemists (Wicker) Ltd since 1973 I have had the benefit of working for a pharmacist consortium-owned company with a strong emphasis on developing the professional aspects of pharmacy practice. The company was formed in 1951 when 45 independent pharmacists came together to set up a city centre pharmacy that would provide an extended hours service for the Sheffield area every day of the year. Wicker Pharmacy opened on 27 January 1952 and has been open every day since. During that time it has been at the forefront of community pharmacy developments from typewriters to robots and pharmacist prescribing.
