Major community pharmacy chain Lloydspharmacy will be seeking out new healthcare technologies for its high street shelves, through its new membership of myM-link.
Lloydspharmacy is working with myM-link to reach innovators and manufacturers of new healthcare devices that their customers can use at home to increase their independence and monitor their own health.
Lloydspharmacy’s Head of Business Innovation, Chris Frost said: “At Lloydspharmacy our core purpose is to keep the customer at the heart of our business, and we are constantly searching for new healthcare developments to meet their needs. The focus right now is on expanding our assisted aids and technology business, and we are looking to collaborate with companies generating ideas and products in this area.”
As a member of myM-link, Lloydspharmacy will benefit from the extensive experience and expertise that the myM-link team have in the area of assisted living, as well as having access to some of the leading innovators within the market.
myM-link manager Sue Wilde said: “I’m looking forward to working with Lloydspharmacy. The company is such a big name in healthcare, and it’s fantastic that they have identified the assisted living market as an area for growth. Their facilities and desire to collaborate on the development of products and services will provide some invaluable opportunities for many smaller designers and manufacturers, as well as the market as a whole. myM-link are confident we can help to make this initiative a success.”
A valuable membership service for private companies in the Life Science market, myM-link uses its close working relationships with healthcare delivery organisations, academics and industry, to identify product and service gaps. Achieving an outstanding retention rate of 95 per cent in its second year, myM-link is in the top six per cent of the UK’s membership organisations.
