LloydsPharmacy and Deliveroo launch partnership to deliver medication to your door within 30 minutes
Customers able to order from more than 50 medical essentials, including over-the-counter medicines
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LloydsPharmacy and Deliveroo have teamed up to help bring medication to your door within 30 minutes.
The partnership means that customers will be able to order more than 50 medical essentials, including over-the-counter medicines, for delivery from 16 LloydsPharmacy stores across the UK.
The two companies state that the delivery service will prove especially important for those who are isolating at home due to Covid-19 and the elderly.
Starting this week, delivery is available to customers from shops in cities, including Southampton, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Bristol, Newcastle upon Tyne, Cambridge and Coventry.
The partnership will then roll-out to a further 24 stores across the UK.
A range of LloydsPharmacy’s 50 best-selling products will be available to purchase via Deliveroo’s app, such as PPE including face masks, hand sanitiser and gloves, as well as hay fever relief in the form of antihistamines, eye drops and nasal spray.
The service will also include a number of medicine cabinet essentials such as plasters, Calpol, ibuprofen, paracetamol, cough medicine and throat lozenges.
Intimate and digestive health products will also be available, including panty liners and pads, the TENA range and diarrhoea relief.
Toby Anderson, LloydsPharmacy CEO said: “Pharmacies plays a pivotal role in not only offering prescriptions and advice to patients, but in also providing over the counter medicine for minor ailments, helping to alleviate pressure on the NHS.
“Over the past few weeks we have taken a number of steps to review and alter our in-store and online operations to ensure that customers can continue to access essential medicines and healthcare products safely and conveniently. This partnership with Deliveroo marks a step change in the evolution of pharmacy and illustrates our commitment to continue delivering first-class healthcare services to our customers.”
