About Coda Pharmacy

Who we are

Coda Pharmacy was founded in response to a growing need for accessible and reliable healthcare, particularly during a time of national crisis. Originally operating out of our well-established Brighton-based pharmacy, Gunns, we recognised that many patients- especially the elderly, vulnerable, and those self-isolating- were struggling to access their medication safely and conveniently during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In response, we launched Coda Pharmacy as a dedicated service with a focus on providing free NHS prescription delivery across England. What began as a local solution quickly grew into a national initiative, helping patients stay on top of their health without the added stress of visiting a pharmacy in person.

We have since relocated to Pevensey, Westham, where our team continues to offer the highest standard of pharmaceutical care.

With many pharmacies now charging for deliveries- or discontinuing them altogether- we knew this gap in access was unacceptable. That's why we developed an easy-to-use online platform, allowing patients to order their NHS prescriptions quickly and securely through our website, www.codapharmacy.co.uk, or via our mobile app, available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play under ‘Coda Pharmacy’.

Our goal is to make managing your health as simple and stress-free as possible, no matter where you are in England.
