Deep expertise at PharmaSource and OstomySource meets market needs
Our unlicensed medicines business , PharmaSource , continues to thrive based on the knowledge , experience and drive of our team and global network of supplier contacts . Brian Collins and his colleagues have worked very hard to develop several innovative programmes to meet the needs of both retail and hospital pharmacy ensuring the critical supply of certain medicines for thousands of patients across Ireland .
The area of greatest potential for PharmaSource has come from the managed access solutions area of this business , where our experienced team works closely with pharmaceutical manufacturers to support them to get their products onto the market . We have seen this area of the business grow by 25 % in 2016 and have strategic growth expectations for this business across Ireland and the UK .

PharmaSource is Ireland ’ s leading supplier of unlicensed medicines and managed access programmes . PharmaSource focuses on 4 key strategic areas :
• Unlicensed Medicines , including both solid dose and manufactured specials

The acquisition of the ostomy business and expert team from Murray ’ s Medical Equipment Limited in 2016 has allowed OstomySource to become the premier supplier of ostomy products to retail pharmacies in Ireland . The combined effort by the Murray ’ s Medical team , under the leadership of David Murray , and the PharmaSource team , under the leadership of Brian Collins , delivered a quick and successful integration , resulting in our Uniphar ostomy business growing by 40 %.
