Patients at Whipps Cross Hospital in Waltham Forest, London, can now access their medication and go home quicker, after the opening of a new LloydsPharmacy outpatient dispensary.

Barts Health NHS Trust is working in partnership with LloydsPharmacy’s parent company Celesio UK to provide an additional outpatient dispensary service at Whipps Cross Hospital, meaning LloydsPharmacy now operates all four outpatient pharmacies within Barts Health NHS Trust.

Andy Burton, director of community services at Celesio UK, said: “Through our partnership with Barts Health, we have already delivered enhanced patient experience and reduced waiting times. Crucially, we have also been able to release clinical capacity for the Trust, which means their teams can spend more time on the wards helping patients that require more urgent care.”
