Patients in Lincoln can benefit from a new pharmacy which delivers prescriptions – for free – the following day.
The recently opened Daytom Pharmacy in the Stirlin Business Park is an independent and delivery-only pharmacy, delivering prescriptions both locally and nationally.
Offering a range of other services, it has been set up by experienced pharmacist Gloria Ohue during the Covid pandemic to provide a convenient service for its customers, saving them time and money.
With FREE delivery for every patient, and for every prescription, Daytom Pharmacy provides essential NHS services right to the doorstep of anyone in England without face-to-face contact.
Friendly service
As a patient-centred pharmacy. the health and wellbeing of patients is the main priority and friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff strive to provide exceptional healthcare and pharmacy services.
Alison Bryant is a pharmacy technician and having previously been a manager at Lloyds Pharmacy for over ten years she brings a wealth of experience to Daytom.
Delivery driver Raymond Bryant has also previously worked at Lloyds Pharmacy for over five years and is very experienced delivering medications and provides an exceptional service to the people he delivers to, especially the elderly.
Owner and pharmacist Mrs Ohue explains: “After being in pharmacy for over ten years and working in different stores across Lincolnshire, I have come to realise that patients just want their medications dispensed safely and fast.
“People order their medications and they do not want to be waiting four to five days before they get them. Some people are unable to get to the pharmacy for one reason or the other, but these people need their meds.
“Not everyone who desperately needs delivery is able to afford the delivery charge, and not everyone has that someone who can help them run to the pharmacy to pick up their prescription.”
