1.3 MILLION TRIPS TO THE PHARMACY SAVED DURING LOCKDOWN

The UK’s biggest online pharmacy has delivered over three million medicines to people’s homes since the start of lockdown.

Data from Pharmacy2U revealed that it has saved over 1.3 million trips outside for potentially vulnerable people since March, helping hundreds of thousands of people get vital medicines and helping to ease the strain on the NHS and frontline services. 

Phil Day, Superintendent Pharmacist at Pharmacy2U comments: “The last few months are unlike anything we’ve ever experienced, and it has been particularly challenging and worrying for the most vulnerable who still need access to their repeat medicines to manage ongoing conditions. Our technology and AI dispensing facility, with its industry leading clinical accuracy measures, has helped hundreds of thousands of people in need to get their medicines safely and helped in some part to ease the strain on our partners and friends in the NHS and frontline services at an unprecedented time.“
