Health Centre Locations
Lloyds pharmacy currently has 358 GP Practice based
pharmacies. Patients are able to receive complete medical
care from the doctors' practice, other healthcare providers
and our Lloyds pharmacies, all in close proximity.
Who are we? During our history, the good-will of
esteemed companies such as Savory & Moore, Allens Chemist,
Cross & Herbert, R Gordon Drummond, Kingswood GK, and of
course Lloyds Chemist and Hills Pharmacy have collectively
given our business an enviable footing on which to go
forward.
Our parent company, Celesio AG purchased AAH plc (the UK’s
leading pharmaceutical wholesaler) in 1995, and then in
1997, acquired Lloyds Chemists PLC, which at the time had
902 pharmacies. Together with AAH’s 350 strong Hills
Pharmacy network, this took the combined group to over 1,250
pharmacies. This has now grown to over 1,600 pharmacies
within the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle Of Man.
What do we believe in? Lloyds pharmacy recognises
the wider determinants of health and the impact that social
and environmental factors have on people’s health. A
community pharmacy should do more than simply dispense
medicines. A strong emphasis should be placed on helping
people maintain their own health and wellbeing.
At the hub of the local community, the pharmacy is ideally
placed to help people make informed social and health
decisions. This role also supports NHS priorities, not only
in relation to minor ailments, but also as part of an
integrated strategy to combat major diseases such as
diabetes, coronary heart disease and respiratory conditions,
areas where Lloyds pharmacy already provides innovative
services.
Our vision The Lloyds pharmacy vision is to go from
a good pharmacy business to a great healthcare brand and in
doing so be acknowledged by our customers, employees,
suppliers and the NHS as the UK’s leading pharmacy multiple
in the provision of healthcare and related products and
services to the community
Championing people’s health When we say that we
‘champion people’s health’ we mean that we fight the battles
that need to be fought in order to give the best care we can
offer.
A good example of this is our approach to diabetes.
Currently within the UK there are thought to be over one
million people who could have diabetes and not even know it.
To date our free screening service has tested over 1.1
million people and over 55,000 people have been referred to
their doctor for further investigation. Our promise to
you

and professional workforce. We pride ourselves on the
relationships we develop with our customers to understand
and meet their needs. We have created a comprehensive and
innovative range of pharmacy and healthcare products and
services, which we deliver from our modern, well positioned
