Announcing PDA PLUS

The PDA prides itself on listening to its members through focus groups and surveys. Following on from one strand of discussions, some considerable time has been spent researching the possibility of launching a range of new and additional benefits to PDA members.

01-DEC-08

This initiative recognises that beyond their work as pharmacists, PDA members do actually have a life!

PDA members have needs that go beyond those simply dictated by their occupations. They go on holiday, buy wine, use hotels and dine out. Consequently, the PDA is now proud to announce a new service (to PDA members) which we have called PDA PLUS. PDA PLUS provides access for members to a range of specially negotiated referential services that are designed to save them money. These benefits are also available to immediate members of the family.

Price Promise

To give PDA members peace of mind, where possible these special offers come with an exceptional discount guarantee. This means that if you can find these services from these providers on a like-for-like basis at better prices anywhere else in the UK, then PDA Plus will not only honour that lower price, but will also compensate you for your trouble by giving you monetary vouchers*.

The full range of benefits currently being made available can be found here

We reckon that it will take only a few short months of regular use of the new PDA Plus benefits service on routine purchases, for members to save themselves enough to fund their entire annual PDA membership subscription - eg. six meals at the 2 for 1 offer or one Virgin holiday for the family with 7.5% discount.

In addition to that, in some instances, the provider will pay an introductory fee to the PDA, which because it is a not-for-proft organisation, will mean that any income so generated will help to fund more services for members.

Fantastic Offers Savings for all of the family!

  • Virgin Holidays (7.5% discount)
  • Private health insurance (some of the best rates available in the UK)
  • Hotel stays in the UK (between 10% and 60% off)
  • TM Lewin shirts (50%+ off)
  • BCP airport car parking (10% off plus price promise)
  • Health clubs via health force (up to 60% off)
  • Virgin Wine Club (unique offers – best rates)
  • Restaurant cards (2 for 1 at 100s of UK restaurants)
  • Family days out at Tussauds Group venues (15% – 20% off)
  • Short breaks, theatre nights (10% discount)

The Win Win Scenario

We believe that this creates a classic WIN – WIN scenario: PDA members and their families save hard-earned income by gaining access to quality services at guaranteed discounted rates. The PDA generates additional funds which it can use to keep PDA membership subscriptions down while still being able to invest more in developing more services for members.

Subject to a successful launch and positive member experience, more PDA PLUS benefits will be launched in 2009.

Why not take a look, it could mean big savings for you and your family!
