Deliveroo has teamed up with a leading pharmacy to help deliver essential medical items to people in Liverpool.
Partnering with LloydsPharmacy, Deliveroo has made a range of medical essentials available via their services. Both businesses have been working together since 2020 and after a rigorous trial period, they are now able to deliver to locations across the UK including Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol and Coventry.
Carlo Mocci, Chief Business Officer UK&I, Deliveroo, said: "LloydsPharmacy has provided a vital service throughout the pandemic and ordering from Deliveroo meant people who were self-isolating could have medication delivered to their doors in as little as 30 minutes.

“This partnership has already helped thousands of families and households and we're looking forward to riding to the rescue of cold, headache and sore-throat sufferers across the UK."
A range of LloydsPharmacy's best-selling products are available to purchase via Deliveroo's app. Some of the items ordered most-often by Deliveroo customers include:
Cold and flu relief
Over-the-counter painkillers
Tissues
Sore throat lozenges
Digestive relief
At-home pregnancy tests
Chief Retail Officer at LloydsPharmacy, Kevin Birch, said they aim to connect more customers with essentials and that their partnership with Deliveroo will help achieve this. He added: "Pharmacies offer customers and patients healthcare advice, services, and prescriptions, but they also provide over-the-counter medicines for minor ailments and sickness. Although LloydsPharmacy patients can order online for next-day delivery, through our extended partnership with Deliveroo, more patients across the UK can access the care supplies they need in just 30 minutes.
"We're committed to improving patient care, giving them greater choice and control as to how, where, and when they access care and medicines. The extension of our partnership with Deliveroo plays an important role in that mission."
The scheme has been rolled out to 150 LloydsPharmacy stores across the country.
