Switch to Online Pharmacy 4U and make getting NHS prescriptions much faster, easier and delivered for free

The go-to for all your pharmacy needs either online, on the app or by phone at the new Mansfield Woodhouse centre

The community pharmacy sector has been facing immense challenges in recent years. With a shortage of funding from the Government and a reduction in the number of chain pharmacy brands, many high street pharmacies have had to shut down.

According to the Chemist + Druggist industry magazine, ASDA and Tesco are the latest brands to announce closures in certain areas along with Sainsburys. The lack of funding has also resulted in a large number of pharmacists leaving community pharmacy for GP surgeries, further exacerbating the shortage of pharmacists available to serve the community.

Medicine shortages have also been a significant problem in the sector, with hundreds of products running out of stock or being in short supply. For pharmacists, the priority is always to ensure the health of patients but it has become increasingly difficult to source medications from regular suppliers. Alternatives are often sought but that can be a time-consuming and overwhelming process for both the patient and pharmacist.

To reduce costs, some big brands have opted to centralise the dispensing process. However, this has led to longer waiting times, with patients required to order their prescriptions up to a week in advance and with no guarantee of availability.
