Medpal AI plc has acquired the assets of Universal Pharmacy out of administration.

The deal, for a total sum of £45,000, sees it enter the online pharmacy market and triple its robotic warehouse footprint.

Medpal, listed in London and Frankfurt, is an AI-powered healthcare services group which had sought approval from NHS England of its pharmacy licence application – confirming fitness to practice and change of ownership in respect of the NHS pharmacy contract previously held by Universal Pharmacy.
