My account

How do I change my email address for Academy+?

You cannot change this via your profile. Instead, you must email us at academyplusuk@kenvue.com.

What is a "Primary Pharmacy" and what does that mean?

A primary pharmacy is the main pharmacy you are associated with. Your "primary pharmacy" is also where your sample orders will be sent to. If you'd like to order samples for another pharmacy, you will need to add the other pharmacy to your account and mark it as your "primary pharmacy" before proceeding with an order.

If you only have one pharmacy connected to your account, this will be your primary pharmacy by default.

How can I change my primary pharmacy?

If you are responsible for more than one pharmacy, you can add other pharmacies to your account and select which is your "primary pharmacy". To add other pharmacies to your account:

  1. Click on your profile at the top right of the screen.
  2. Click 'My pharmacies'. Then click 'Add new pharmacy' and follow the instructions.

Please note: Any sample orders will be sent to your "primary pharmacy". If you'd like to order samples for another pharmacy, you will need to add the other pharmacy to your account and mark it as your "primary pharmacy" before proceeding with an order.

If you experience any difficulties, please contact Kenvue Customer Services Support by emailing academyplusuk@kenvue.com.

I have tried to add another pharmacy to my account, but the system will not allow me even with the correct GPHC Premises Number. What should I do?

Please contact Kenvue Customer Services Support by emailing academyplusuk@kenvue.com, so the details can be verified.

Only the Pharmacy Owner/Managers role can remove staff members using the steps below:

  1. Go to 'My profile' at the top right of the page.
