For specials manufacturers, suppliers & importers

The specials you make matter — to patients who have no licensed option. We help them reach the patient at the time they need them.

BritUn is a specials head office for community pharmacies. If you're an MHRA-licensed manufacturer or supplier of unlicensed specials, we'd value a conversation.

We're building our supplier network now, ahead of launch — early conversations welcome.
The work you do

The most important work in medicine — for the most vulnerable patients.

Every special is a last resort for a patient's health. Every one you make exists because that patient couldn't be served any other way — a form, a strength, an ingredient that simply isn't available off the shelf. Meeting those genuine clinical needs, to standard, under some of the toughest regulation in medicine, is demanding work that the system depends on and rarely recognises. We recognise it — and we recognise that specials meet a real clinical need for some of the most vulnerable patients there are.

The problem you know well

And the way specials are ordered, within a tightly regulated supply chain, makes hard work harder.

We understand the realities of supplying specials:

Made strictly to order, on unsolicited prescriptions — never ahead of demand.
Small, scattered, one-off orders that are costly to set up and fulfil.
No economies of scale — each order resourced almost from scratch.
Short shelf lives that make anything made ahead a loss waiting to happen.

A model where the demand is real — but it arrives in the most expensive possible shape.

We bring the demand together — so it arrives in a better shape.

BritUn pools specials demand from a network of member community pharmacies into a professional, MHRA-compliant channel. For a supplier, that can mean more predictable, consolidated demand routed to you — instead of scattered one-offs — through a single, organised channel that's simpler to plan around and simpler to administer. And behind that demand is a real clinical need: each order is a patient who has no licensed option. You do what you do best; we bring the demand — and the patients who depend on it — to your door.
