Our take

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.
