New location prescription for pharmacy

A busy pharmacy which helps hundreds of city centre workers, shoppers and commuters with prescriptions and free health advice has moved into a new home on Sincil Street.

Lincolnshire Co-op’s pharmacy closed in its location inside the City Square Centre on Friday 14th August and reopened Monday 17th August in 15 Sincil Street, next to DAS Electricals.

Inside, the pharmacy will offer the same wide range of help, including health checks, medicine reviews and a convenient electronic prescription service. Users just need to register, and their prescription is sent electronically to the pharmacy from their GP. A text message will let them know when their medication is ready to collect.

The move is part of the Cornhill Quarter development, which is being led by Lincolnshire Co-op. Throughout, historic buildings have been sympathetically restored while being adapted for modern commercial use.

The pharmacy building dates back to the late-1860s. It’s previously been home to a printer, a gramophone and record supplier and a butcher’s shop.

In keeping with its history, the frontage has been restored and the signage has been hand-painted. Inside, it’s a modern pharmacy with a customer area, dispensary and consultation room.
