Built platform · Membership and pharmacy networks

An application is the start of a membership.

A pharmacy-network membership platform for structured applications, linked pharmacy records, staff review, agreements and follow-up.

Project in brief

Who it serves

Independent pharmacy contractors applying to or working with the network, and staff responsible for membership review and administration.

Our role

Platform design and software delivery

Scope

A phased membership platform connecting the public application journey with applicant, company and pharmacy records and an authorised staff review workflow.

The problem

When applications arrive as disconnected forms and email attachments, staff have to reconstruct which person, company and pharmacy a document belongs to and what should happen next. IPCN’s platform gives each application a structured record and a review trail that can continue into membership administration.

The solution

IPCN needed an application journey that could carry on into staff review and membership administration. The platform captures the applicant, organisation and pharmacy together, keeps submitted evidence and decisions with that record, and gives staff clear review and follow-up steps. Delivery is phased; eligibility and membership decisions remain with IPCN staff.

What we built

Public website and CMS

Pages, menus, media, metadata and editorial revisions support a maintained public experience.

Structured applications

Applicant, company and pharmacy information is captured as a coherent submission rather than an unstructured email.

Member records and staff review

Related records, evidence, notes and decisions stay together for authorised staff.

Agreements and payments

Agreement versions and provider-dependent payment steps have explicit states.

Communications and controls

Editable email, role permissions and audit history support follow-up and administration.

How it works

  1. Submit an application

    The applicant provides required organisation, person and pharmacy details through the public journey.

  2. Review the record

    Authorised staff check evidence and request further information where needed.

  3. Agree and decide

    Human approvals and agreement versions are recorded with the application.

  4. Continue membership

    Staff carry the same record into administration and follow-up.

What this supports

Complete application context

Keep the applicant, organisation, pharmacy details and submitted evidence associated with one application.

Visible staff review

Give authorised reviewers a place to check information, record a decision and request follow-up.

Continuity after approval

Carry the approved record forward into agreements and membership administration without treating an application as an untracked email.

Intelligence and responsibility

Structured context

The record and workflow provide the context needed for future permitted assistance.

Human accountability

Eligibility, professional review and membership decisions remain with authorised people.

Responsibility and limits

Staff retain responsibility for eligibility and membership approval. Email, company checks and payment steps use the providers configured for the organisation; the supplier portal is a separate scope.

Why this matters

The platform replaces a loose handoff from form to inbox with a reviewable record and clear human ownership from application through follow-up.
