EDF partners with Boots to home-deliver essential medicines amid pandemic

EDF Energy has partnered with Boots Pharmacy Ltd. to deliver critical medicines to those in need during the covid-19 outbreak.

As part of the Boots Pharmacy Delivery and Collection (PDC) Scheme, 70 volunteer EDF engineers will home-deliver prescriptions from Boots hubs to vulnerable citizens and those in self-isolation.

The volunteers have been matched to suitable locations to minimise travel distance and time spent outdoors.

Eddie Storr, Head of Supply Chain Pharmacy at Boots UK, said: “These are challenging times and our top priority is to ensure we continue to provide patients across the UK with the important medical supplies they need.”
