Sainsbury's will lose all its in-store pharmacies across the UK over the course of 2023, it has been announced.
LloydsPharmacy, which has 237 pharmacy sites within the supermarket chain, said it has cut the services following a strategic review “in response to changing market conditions”. LloydsPharmacy added that it is “exploring options” for each branch individual and will confirm exact closure plans on a “branch-by-branch” basis but expects to complete the process over the course of 2023.
It stressed that it is working with all colleagues impacted by the announcement but did not disclose how many workers would be affected. Kevin Birch, chief executive officer of LloydsPharmacy, said: “This decision has not been an easy one and we understand that our patients and customers may have questions about how the change will affect them.
