QuotePharmagoraPlus: Beyond the trade show, the laboratory of tomorrow's pharmacy
Every year, the Porte de Versailles becomes the epicentre of French pharmacy. But beyond the stands and commercial hustle and bustle, PharmagoraPlus is above all a barometer of a profession undergoing profound change. Between new clinical missions, the digitisation of the care pathway and the automation of tasks, this year's edition poses a single question: how can pharmacists reinvent themselves without losing their soul?
For healthcare professionals, walking through the exhibition aisles is no longer a simple stroll out of curiosity—it is a strategic démarche. At Mdose, a committed player in optimizing the medication supply chain, we have identified three major areas that will shape discussions this year.
Ergonomics in Support of “New Professional Missions”
This is the major challenge of the decade. Vaccination, rapid diagnostic tests (TROD), pharmaceutical consultations, medication reviews… Pharmacies are no longer just dispensing points—they have become frontline healthcare hubs.
This clinical evolution requires a complete rethink of space design. How can a confidential area be integrated into a limited surface? How can medical time be freed up by optimizing logistics?
The trade show is the ideal opportunity to assess layout solutions. The challenge is no longer purely aesthetic (merchandising), but functional: reducing unnecessary staff movement to maximize time spent with patients.
The Mdose Perspective: The organization of back-office and storage areas (modular shelving, drawer bins) is the invisible key to this efficiency. A well-organized stock means more time for patients.
PDA: Craft-Based Industrialization
Unit Dose Dispensing (PDA) will undoubtedly be one of the hottest topics at Pharmagora. With population aging and the shift toward outpatient care, the City–Hospital–Nursing Home connection is becoming stronger.
The exhibition showcases impressive technology (robots, automated systems), but technology alone is not enough. Securing the medication circuit also relies on:
- Traceability (software, labeling)
- Transportation (dispensing trolleys, secured cases)
- Hygiene (washable materials, protocols)
For pharmacists looking to develop a PDA activity (manual or automated), the show is the right time to compare not only machines, but the entire ecosystem that ensures patient safety.
Digitalization: Tool or Master?
Teleconsultation, e-prescriptions, increasingly powerful pharmacy management systems… Digital technology is everywhere. However, the underlying trend is no longer a race for innovation alone, but a search for interoperability.
Pharmacists are looking for tools that communicate with each other to streamline the care pathway. The objective is clear: technology must fade into the background to put people back at the center.
Preparing Your Visit: 4 Strategic Questions to Ask Yourself
Before heading to Porte de Versailles, we recommend defining your priorities to avoid losing focus:
- Flow: Is my dispensing area adapted to the growing patient flow linked to new professional missions?
- Storage: Is my reserve optimized, or am I paying for unused square meters?
- Safety: If I provide PDA services, does my current equipment guarantee “zero error”?
- Equipment: Are my trolleys, cabinets, and shelving compliant with current hygiene standards?
