About us

Our new outpatient pharmacy - Newcastle Pharmacy Services - has been operating since 1 December 2024 as a subsidiary of the Trust. This follows an announcement from Lloyds in August 2024, that it was withdrawing from its 64 Lloyds Pharmacy-branded hospital pharmacy sites across the country, including those at the Royal Victoria Infirmary and Freeman Hospitals.
