British Association of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers

The Healthcare Distribution Association (HDA), formerly known as the British Association of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers (BAPW), is the UK trade body representing companies that supply and distribute medicines and healthcare products. The association ensures the safe and efficient distribution of over 90% of NHS medicines, representing the interests of wholesalers to government, regulators, and the broader healthcare sector. Its members operate high-standard supply chains, providing vital logistics services to pharmacies, hospitals, and dispensing doctors across the United Kingdom. By advocating for resilient and efficient distribution networks, the HDA plays a critical role in maintaining the availability of essential treatments for patients throughout the British healthcare system.
