Prescription for success

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 has moved from City Square Centre to 15 Sincil Street, next to DAS Electricals.

Inside, the pharmacy offers 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.

Other recent openings include bar and restaurant The Botanist, fashion brands Hobbs, Phase 8 and Whistles - see the pictures below.

Lincolnshire Co-op also runs a food store on Sincil Street and the post office inside the City Square Centre.

The Society is still looking to relocate the post office to alternative city centre premises. Eventually, the aim is to replace the City Square Centre, but this scheme is still being planned. Currently all services, and the tenants within the centre and along Waterside South, continue to trade as normal.
