Pharmacy2U partners with Healthcode to launch next-day home delivery service for private prescriptions

  • Increasing demand for private healthcare, with almost 50,000 practitioners on Healthcode’s Private Practice Register (PPR)

  • Prescription home delivery offered to private patients

  • Innovative partnership offers choice and convenience for patients and prescribers

Private healthcare patients can now benefit from home delivery of their private prescriptions thanks to a new partnership between the nation’s largest online pharmacy, Pharmacy2U, and leading health technology solutions provider, Healthcode.  

Patients using Healthcode services now have the option to pay for their prescription digitally and choose to have it delivered to their preferred address the next day, with full transparency on prescription costs throughout the journey.

Demand for private healthcare services continues to rise. A recent survey by the Independent Care Providers Network found that 32% of the UK population had used private healthcare and 67% would consider it.  

These patients now have flexibility to choose how to receive their private prescription items, either by purchasing them from a local pharmacy, or having them dispensed and delivered by Pharmacy2U.

Additional benefits of the partnership include:

  • Market-leading stock availability.

Pharmacy2U has a stock availability rate of 95%, giving prescribers confidence that their patients will receive the treatments they need, when they need them.

  • Clinical excellence.

Digital integration with BNF and dm+d enhance patient safety by providing real-time alerts with drug interactions, while Pharmacy2U’s dispensing process is fully aligned to GPhC standards to ensure the highest levels of safety, accuracy, and regulatory compliance.

  • Patient privacy.

All prescription items are dispatched using plain, letterbox-friendly packaging to ensure discretion and confidentiality for patients.

The next-day dispensing and home delivery partnership means that practitioners using Healthcode’s ePractice product can offer choice and convenience to their patients, further enhancing their offering. ePractice is a practice management system that supports practitioners to deliver safe, compliant care. Thanks to the integration of Healthcode Intelligence, the prescribing process has been streamlined to save time, reduce administrative burden, and empower practitioners to focus on patient care.

Gary Dannatt, Chief of staff at Pharmacy2U, said:

“This partnership with Healthcode represents a significant leap forward in how we deliver patient care in the private healthcare sector. By integrating secure electronic prescriptions with our next-day delivery service, we are not only streamlining processes but also reinforcing our commitment to clinical safety and patient convenience. It’s a vital step in ensuring that patients can access the care they need quickly, safely, and with full control.”

Jenny Murray, Director of Product Strategy and Delivery at Healthcode, added:

“Our collaboration with Pharmacy2U is a win-win for both healthcare professionals and patients. Healthcode’s technology speeds up the prescribing process, reducing the admin burden on practitioners, while offering patients a truly flexible service. This is the kind of patient-centric innovation that can transform how private healthcare is delivered making it easier for practitioners to simply and seamlessly deliver better patient care. It shows that we can help shape the future of healthcare by working together and leveraging our expertise in intelligent online solutions and cutting-edge technology.”
