Day Lewis Pharmacy is a national award-winning community pharmacy retailer with a mission to help people in the community to “stay healthy and feel better”. One of the largest independent retail pharmacy chains in Europe, Day Lewis pharmacy was founded by Kirit Patel MBE and his brother JC Patel in 1975. It is a family owned business that consists of over 270 pharmacies in the UK today. With patients being the true heart of the business, Day Lewis pharmacies can be found not only in local communities but also in high streets and health centres. Being the winner of C+D’s “Best Places to Work in Community Pharmacy 2015”, we believe that the success of Day Lewis can largely be attributed to our colleagues and organisational culture. With a strong set of core values, we are looking to work with people who will embrace our caring family culture; look after our customers; be disciplined and professional; seek to be different through innovation; reward, recognise and empower each other and last but certainly not least, have fun in the workplace.

Growth, as the source summarises it

Day Lewis Pharmacy may be growing as it has been recognized for its performance with workers from the Isle of Wight receiving accolades, which could indicate a positive reputation and potentially contribute to its growth. Additionally, the company has made a significant investment in technology by appointing Locate a Locum to deliver a new digital solution for locum resourcing and management across its two hundred sixty-seven pharmacies. This investment in a next-generation digital platform suggests an expansion of operational capabilities and a focus on improving efficiency.
