Pharmacy2U has entered the care home sector for the first time with the acquisition of Care Quality Pharmacy, one of the largest care home pharmacies in England.

Founded in 2013, the business provides prescription and NHS services to care home groups, extra care services and domiciliary care agencies, alongside support such as eMAR charts, training, audits and compliance visits.

Pharmacy2U said the deal supports its growth strategy and builds on recent acquisitions including Lloyds Direct and Lloyds Pharmacy Online Doctor.
