Company Overview

At HNS Pharma, we distribute and specialise in making sure the right medicines – whether they’re licensed, unlicensed, or controlled medication – are always in the right hands.

What makes us stand out…

We’re fully certified by the MHRA and the Home Office, making us a key player in the pharmaceutical distributor network. It’s our job to make sure that every delivery is safe, fully compliant, and matches the needs of patients, especially when it comes to those rare or specialised treatments that are tricky to find.

Here’s how we do things

We’re serious about quality. Following MHRA’s Good Distribution Practice (GDP) is second nature to us – it’s part of who we are.

From the second medicines leave our warehouse to the moment they reach our customers, we ensure every step meets the highest standards. Our Quality Management System is thorough – it’s something we pour our hearts into.

Why, you ask?
Because we’re obsessed with quality. From keeping meds at just the right temperature in climate-controlled storage to keeping our records straight and conducting detailed quality checks, we make sure everything is just right.

Partners in Healthcare

Yes, we’re suppliers. Also, though, we’re your healthcare partners.

Our non-stop drive to improve coupled with sticking strictly to regulations is what makes us a first choice for wholesale pharmacy supplies.

We have a team full of experts who use the latest tech to make sure healthcare providers have access to the meds they need, so they’re both safe and effective, every single day.
