Logan Pharmacy's ethos revolves around building strong relationships with the community and other healthcare professionals.
Despite being located in a small village, the pharmacy covers a 15-mile radius, reaching remote areas and farms with its services.
Their unparalleled delivery service reaches 250 to 300 patients daily, six days a week. The team ensures housebound patients receive care through a free phone consultation service.
The blister pack service stands out for its inclusivity and efficiency. With over 280 patients currently using the service, the team ensures that no one in need is left out, asking only for a two- to three-week notice period.
Innovation lies at the heart of Logan Pharmacy's approach to advancing its services, significantly improving its business aims and community outreach.
Their free phone consultation service allows housebound patients to receive comprehensive advice and medication delivery.
When Lloyds Pharmacy faced staffing shortages, Logan Pharmacy swiftly took in new patients, ensuring their needs were met efficiently. New computers and a streamlined IT system have helped the team reduce waiting times and manage the increased patient volume.
However, Logan Pharmacy's journey wasn't without its challenges. They resolved space constraints by extending the pharmacy, adding treatment rooms, storage, and a blister pack hub.
Struggling to fill vacancies, they recruited two local school leavers who are now studying pharmacy and paramedicine while supporting the team. Despite losing their pharmacist last year, the team rallied to maintain exceptional service quality while working with locum pharmacists.
Their relationship-building with the Care at Home Pharmacy Technician Service has set a benchmark in community healthcare. Technicians assess patients at home to ensure

correct medication management. Logan Pharmacy also liaises with social workers and care staff to guarantee the best care.
By sharing personal mobile numbers with GP practices, the pharmacy fosters seamless communication to ensure swift information exchange and reduce patient impact.
