Cara Pharmacy Group is a 100% Irish owned company, which was founded in 2000. Cara acquired Abbey Healthcare in 2017, enabling it to expand into the Care Home business. Abbey Healthcare was founded in 1999 and was the first pharmacy in Ireland to introduce a pouched dosage system, resulting in the most efficient and safe delivery of medication to its patients. Cara Pharmacy has an established management team, with a firm long-term commitment from its financial backers to continue to grow the business. Since the beginning of 2021, Cara Pharmacy has been led by Patrick McCormack. Patrick has a significant track record in the pharmacy and healthcare industries, having previously been CEO of the Sam McCauley Pharmacy Group for over 10 years. Patrick has over 30 years’ experience in the sector and businesses under his previous stewardship have won many awards and achieved significant success. Cara Pharmacy recently entered into a franchise agreement with Allcare (part of the Uniphar Group). This partnership will help Cara to continue to grow and provide a superior range of products and services to its patients and customers going forward. Cara Pharmacy employs over 200 staff across 12 stores in Ireland, and has an immensely loyal and proud workforce.
