1 · What it gives

These platforms replace traditional offline-only pharmacy purchasing and on-site clinician-to-pharmacy coordination by enabling online ordering and store-based delivery or pickup. A practical workflow is online order, e-prescription review and approval where applicable, then dispensing and distribution. One example is a pharmacy chain in Zhejiang that launched a WeChat mini-programme for an end-to-end flow from online consultation to e-prescription and delivery.

D1	Garden, allotment and lawn pest control with beneficial nematodes — Phasmarhabditis against slugs, Steinernema/Heterorhabditis against vine weevil, chafer grubs, leatherjackets — instead of metaldehyde pellets and soil insecticides Replaces: Metaldehyde slug pellets (banned outdoors in Great Britain from 2022), methiocarb pellets (EU non-renewed), soil insecticides in gardens and …	MACRO
