Rowlands Pharmacy Healthcare Services
We deliver health
At Rowlands, we partner across six distinct healthcare sectors to deliver safe, efficient, and patient-focused pharmacy services. From seamless transitions in acute care to structured medication reviews in mental health settings, we work alongside NHS providers to realise the ambitions of the Fit for the Future: 10-Year Health Plan for England.
We embed “Patient Controlled” pharmacy services, putting people at the heart of medicines access and decision-making. Our services shift pharmacy support closer to patients, free up clinical time, and create more connected, preventative models of care.
Who we work with
We operate across a wide range of healthcare environments:
- Outpatient Pharmacy Departments (OPDs) in Acute Trusts – Streamlining discharge and improving flow
- Mental Health Trusts – Delivering specialist dispensing, medicine reconciliation, clinical screening and pharmacist ward rounds.
- Community Health Providers – Supporting integrated care and home-based treatment
- Hospices – Ensuring timely access to medicines and freeing up nurse time
- Private Hospitals – Offering CQC-compliant, cost-effective pharmacy solutions
- Prisons – Providing secure, tailored dispensing and stock management
