About

Built by a pharmacy professional. For pharmacy professionals.

Healthcare Consultant Solutions Ltd is founded and run by Faheem Sodagar — a GPhC Registered pharmacy professional with 13+ years across UK community pharmacy, hospital, GP practice, PCN, and online settings, who also builds the AI.

The founder

Two careers running in one person. That's the moat.

Most AI consultants have not stood behind a pharmacy counter. Most pharmacy consultants cannot build the AI. Faheem does both.

My name is Faheem Sodagar. I'm a GPhC Registered pharmacy professional with thirteen-plus years working across community, hospital, GP practice, PCN, online, and dispensing-doctor settings — and I build the AI that Healthcare Consultant Solutions ships.

The breadth matters. What earns its place at a busy multiple community pharmacy is not the same as what earns its place at a dispensing doctors' branch, or an online-only setup, or a hospital outpatient dispensary. Every one of those settings has a different call pattern, a different peak, a different bottleneck, a different regulatory concern.

If I haven't done your job, I've probably done the one that hands off to you.

Alongside that, I build the software. Not "commission it from a partner and slap my name on it" — build it. The AI Receptionist is written, tested, and iterated on by the same person who has stood behind a pharmacy counter in three counties. When the receptionist reads back a prescription status, the wording it uses is the wording someone who has answered that call a thousand times would use.

Every capability decision in the AI passes through that same lens: would it work at the busy branch on a Thursday afternoon in December? If the answer is "not really", the capability doesn't ship.

Why HCS exists

Because AI-in-pharmacy is being sold by people who cannot read a script.

Independent community pharmacy in the UK is under pressure. Fee income is tighter. Staff time is scarcer. Patient expectations are higher. And a growing number of AI vendors have arrived at the door with product decks written by people who have never opened a controlled-drug register.

The result — most of the time — is either an AI product that doesn't understand the pharmacy well enough to work, or a pharmacist who is (rightly) too suspicious of the pitch to buy. Neither party is wrong. Both parties are stuck.

Healthcare Consultant Solutions exists to unstick that. An AI capability that has to survive an audit before it's built, and a builder who can defend every line of it to a GPhC inspector.

How we work

Three principles behind every recommendation.

Compliance-first

Every recommendation has to survive a GPhC inspector's question. If a capability creates a compliance gap it can't close, it doesn't ship — no matter how attractive the demo looks. UK GDPR, ICO governance, and GPhC AI transparency principles are not optional.

Polish over speed

A pharmacy's reputation is built over decades. It should not be spent on an AI that ships at seventy percent. If a capability isn't ready, it stays in the build queue. What gets in front of a patient is finished, tested, and defensible.

Value over brand

We don't buy expensive tools to look sophisticated. We buy the cheapest capable option that meets the quality bar, and we're honest with clients about how we spend their money. If a component is over-engineered for the job, it doesn't ship.
