Day Lewis Pharmacy

Call Directions Website

Day Lewis Pharmacy One of the main services our pharmacies offer is prescription collection. When a prescription changes, you may find you have some unused medication at home.

If you’ve just come out of hospital and have had a recent change of medication, our pharmacists are on hand to answer any questions you might have and put your mind at ease. They can also give you more information about any new medication a GP may have prescribed. With our medication disposal service, you can drop this off at the pharmacy and we will get rid of it for you.

Would Executive Director Jay Patel swap the UK's community pharmacy system for another countries?

His answer might surprise you.

In the latest Health Tech Hour podcast, Jay Patel shares why the solution isn't simply about swapping healthcare systems.

While resources may be stretched, one thing never changes: the dedication of community pharmacy teams. Every day, pharmacists and colleagues go above and beyond for their patients, delivering exceptional care despite increasing pressures.

Hear Jay's thoughts on what healthcare systems can learn from each other and why people remain the greatest strength of any pharmacy system.

"I almost said no."

When a Day Lewis Pharmacist offered Executive Director Jay Patel a routine blood pressure check, it seemed like a small moment.

But that simple check revealed something far more serious.

Further investigations uncovered heart disease that could have been fatal. Just three months later, Jay underwent life-saving heart bypass surgery.

In this powerful episode of the Health Tech Hour podcast, Jay shares his personal journey and why prevention, early detection and accessible healthcare services are more important than ever.

Stories like this remind us why community pharmacy matters. Sometimes, one conversation, one check, or one appointment can change the course of a person's life.

What if AI isn't replacing people... but giving them more time to care for people?

On the Health Tech Hour podcast, our Executive Director, Jay Patel, shares his perspective on AI in healthcare.

For Jay, AI isn't about replacing clinical judgement. It's about reducing administrative noise, capturing conversations through transcription, and helping organise thoughts more effectively.

The result? More time for what matters most: meaningful patient care.

A great pharmacist does so much more than dispense medicines.

They listen, reassure, solve problems, support patients through difficult moments, and help people feel confident about their health. Every single day.

This World Pharmacists Day, we're proud to shine a spotlight on Lucy Mack, the recipient of our Pharmacist of the Year award at last year's Day Lewis Conference.

Lucy embodies everything that makes community pharmacy so special: expertise, compassion, and a genuine commitment to helping others. But as she'd be the first to say, it's a team effort.

"I couldn't do it without my team... who leave me stress-free in the consultation room, helping patients."

Today, we're celebrating Lucy and every pharmacist who goes above and beyond for their patients and communities. Thank you for the care, dedication, and difference you make every day. 💊✨

313 confirmed MenB cases in England last year.

If you're living in student accommodation for the first time and you're eligible for the FREE* NHS MenB catch-up vaccine, now is the time to get it sorted.

A quick appointment today could help protect you throughout the academic year 💛

If you’ve got a holiday booked (or you’re eyeing that “just browsing” flight deal 👀), now’s the perfect time to think beyond passports and packing lists.

Different destinations can require, or strongly recommend, travel vaccinations, malaria prevention, and a quick health check so you can actually enjoy your trip instead of spending it searching for a pharmacy abroad.

Our Day Lewis Travel Clinic will help you prepare properly:
✔ Personalised travel risk assessment
✔ Required & recommended vaccines
✔ Anti-malarials and bite prevention advice
✔ Last-minute appointments available

Many vaccines need time to work, so don’t leave it until the week before you fly.
