At HealthPoint Pharmacy, we believe great pharmacy care should be accessible, convenient and centred on people.
We’re building a growing pharmacy brand around the communities we serve, with friendly, professional patient care at the heart of what we do. We partner with pharmacists who are central to their local communities, and develop new pharmacies in convenient locations, including alongside GP practices, to make accessing pharmacy care easier.
Our ambition is to build a recognised national presence while staying true to what matters most: supporting our communities and putting people first.
Proudly caring for local communities since 2008, dispensing 1.6 million prescription items every year.
Our story
Growing across Ireland. Rooted in every town.
HealthPoint began in 2008 with Keane's Pharmacy in Mullingar: a family-run pharmacy built on personal care, trusted advice and strong local relationships. Our founder, John Keane, is a pharmacist who has worked in Irish community pharmacy since he was 16.
Since then, respected family pharmacies have chosen to join us. In June 2024 we brought them together under one name, HealthPoint Pharmacy, and the family has kept growing since, most recently with Dalkey Pharmacy, which has cared for its community since 1877.
We've grown, but what matters hasn't changed. You'll see the same faces behind the counter, get the same warm welcome, and receive care that puts you first, now with the strength of a group behind every pharmacy.
What we stand for
Rooted in community.
Local pharmacies and local teams, supporting the clubs, schools and charities around them.
Great care, everywhere.
The same clinical standards, training and support in every pharmacy.
Here for the long term.
A strong network of Irish community pharmacies, so towns and villages keep the local pharmacy they rely on, for generations to come.

How we care
Clinical leadership.
Our Superintendent Pharmacist, Caroline Corbett, sets and checks the clinical standards in every HealthPoint pharmacy.
The same standards everywhere.
Every pharmacy follows the same procedures for dispensing, advice and patient safety, and every team is trained in them.
Learning together.
Our teams train through the year, and our pharmacists help pre registration pharmacists find their feet.
Listening to you.
HealthPoint PULSE™ asks patients how we did. We review the results every month, pharmacy by pharmacy, and act on them.
HealthPoint in the community
Part of the places we serve
We support local GAA and rugby clubs, give Transition Year students their first taste of work, and fundraise for charities like the Irish Heart Foundation and the Irish Cancer Society.
Pharmacies that join us
How we grow
Local pharmacies, stronger together
We partner with pharmacists who are central to their local communities.
Many of our pharmacies were family businesses before they joined HealthPoint. Their owners wanted the same things: to know their patients and team would be looked after, and that the pharmacy they built would keep serving the town.
When a pharmacy joins HealthPoint:
-
patients keep the pharmacy, and the faces, they trust
-
the team gets the training, systems and support of a growing group
-
the pharmacy's name and history are honoured on its page
New pharmacies
New pharmacies alongside GPs
We develop new pharmacies in convenient locations, including in primary care centres and alongside GP practices, to make accessing pharmacy care easier. We already run a pharmacy inside a primary care centre, with more on the way.
