Revolutionising the pharmaceutical industry

PillTime is working hard to transform the pharmaceutical industry for the better, moving on from old methods towards an innovative new age of simplicity and convenience. Their online prescription service handles all your medication requirements while also taking the burden off NHS staff. For example, in September 2018, the pharmacy conducted an innovative trial with Salford Royal Foundation Trust to try out medication pouches on-ward for the first time. The experiment produced extraordinary results by saving each member of the nursing staff team an average of 87 minutes per day.

Furthermore, PillTime is an eco-pharmacy that strives to lower its environmental impact by reducing waste medication, using recyclable packaging and reducing single-purpose trips to collect medication from the Pharmacy or GP Surgery by delivering medication directly to patients’ doors.
