LloydsDirect's mission is to make NHS prescriptions simple for everyone.
LloydsDirect helps people order, track and get reminders for their NHS prescriptions. It is part of a group of healthcare companies, including LloydsPharmacy, owned by Aurelius Investments, a Private Equity group focused on growth investments.
Nearly 600,000 patients so far have nominated LloydsDirect as their preferred option for receiving medicines through its electronic prescription service (EPS), making it the second most popular pharmacy for EPS nominations after Pharmacy2U. The company saw a 731% growth in revenue by the end of the 2020/2021 fiscal year.
Online pharmacies can give community pharmacists more time to focus on face-to-face services and care, such as vaccinations, and in turn, help to alleviate some of the pressures that are increasing elsewhere in the healthcare system. Dispensing prescriptions via LloydsDirect saves an estimated 1.5 minutes per item, giving back 19,500 hours to community pharmacies every month. Since the creation of LloydsDirect, 27.7 years have been saved. The company has its eyes on securing the next 500,000 patients.

LloydsDirect takes the hassle out of managing your repeat prescriptions. By growing our patient base we're making life easier for thousands of people. LloydsDirect grew exceptionally in response to covid as we were able to help people get their medication delivered directly to their door if they were unable to leave their homes. It was amazing how quickly our team responded to the growth, it was all hands on deck and so rewarding to see the impact we made during that time.

I joined LloydsDirect because of the mission. Although I don't take a repeat prescription myself, I care for people who do and I knew LloydsDirect proposition would make a massive difference to their life. I love speaking to patients and hearing about their own experiences with our service and we've helped them have one less thing to worry about.

I've worked on varied projects during my time at LloydsDirect so far. We're given the autonomy to experiment with different marketing channels and see whether they can contribute to the growth and retention of our patients. This has often meant learning on the job and or working towards tight deadlines. We're a fast-moving business which means we often don't have much time to plan, we just get on and do it. This makes the work challenging and rewarding at the same time when you get to see the value we add.
