Royal Mail Group has backed the NHS-integrated pharmacy platform in a pre-seed round to help local healthcare providers expand their digital services.
"The pandemic has outlined the necessity of community healthcare and the power of digital delivery. In the UK today, it is estimated that just 3% of all prescriptions are ordered digitally, with most UK pharmacies still lacking the ability to digitise their services. This places undue pressure on the wider NHS and prevents an estimated 18 million GP consultations being transferred to community pharmacists, who are equipped to manage many health conditions that would typically be associated with GP care. Today’s investment will help local pharmacies across the UK adapt, survive and thrive by arming them with the necessary technology to exist in our houses as well as on our high street."
