How we work
From clear questions to measurable action.
For pharmacies and clinics, a free check is a useful entry point. It is not the only way in, and every engagement follows the same four phases.
Diagnose
Define the decision, the owner and the evidence needed, then measure where things stand today.
Prioritize
Rank the opportunities and risks by value, effort and timing, so the work starts where it matters most.
Build the Plan
A practical plan with owners, milestones and measures, set out in plain language.
Support Execution
Implementation support or fractional leadership where you want it, under a separate written scope.
Leadership
Led by an operator who has owned and grown pharmacies and clinics.
MediVationsRx is led by Malay Panchal, MBA, RPh. Malay has more than 20 years of experience managing retail pharmacies and medical clinics, including 10 years as an owner-operator, during which he tripled sales within five years.
He has since led healthcare and life sciences companies as a senior executive, including as CEO of a TSX Venture Exchange-listed life sciences company, and holds a Kellogg–Schulich Executive MBA. MediVationsRx is a senior-led consulting firm: Malay leads strategy, discovery and engagement oversight, and specialist consultants and delivery partners are engaged as projects require, with responsibilities and cost agreed in advance.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does a free check cost me?
Nothing. You see your score and areas on screen before we ask for anything. To receive your tailored PDF report, we ask for your name, business and email.
What is in the PDF report?
Your score, your four area scores, an area-by-area view, your top three opportunities with what to do first, a 30-day starter plan and what a deeper review would measure. It is built from your answers, so no two reports are the same.
Who will I work with?
Every engagement is led and overseen by Malay Panchal, who has managed retail pharmacies and medical clinics for more than 20 years, 10 of them as an owner-operator. Analysts and specialists in operations, finance and marketing join as each mandate requires.
Is the check an audit or a benchmark?
No. It is a self-assessment based on your own answers. It points to areas worth a closer look; a paid review measures them with your actual data.
I run a clinic, not a pharmacy. Does this apply?
Yes. Both checks have an edition for medical, allied health, dental and optometry practices. The Pharmacy Profit & Risk Review is pharmacy-specific; clinics get a Practice Operations Review built on the same approach.
Do you implement the plan, or just write it?
Both. Your plan is yours to use with your own team. If you want our team to help carry it out, implementation support is scoped in a separate written proposal.
Do you use AI?
Only where it clearly helps, for example automating a repetitive workflow. Every recommendation starts with your business problem, not a tool.
We are a pharmaceutical or life sciences company. Where do we start?
With a defined business question rather than a free check, which is designed for pharmacies and clinics. Use the project form on the Pharma & Life Sciences page to share a non-confidential summary.
Do you prepare regulatory submissions?
No. We focus on commercial and operational advisory. Regulatory submissions require an appropriately qualified specialist and separately agreed scope.
How are reviews priced?
Each review has a fixed scope and fee, set out in a written proposal before any work begins.
