Boots has today officially reopened its new-look healthcare area in its store in the Derbion Shopping Centre store. The refurbished store brings together Boots new ‘One Health’ execution, which includes a seamlessly integrated customer experience across pharmacy, consumer healthcare, hearingcare and opticians.  

The reinvented healthcare space covers over 400 square metres and has been carefully designed to co-locate pharmacy, hearingcare and opticians to allow customers to easily and conveniently access the breadth of services on offer.  

Over 30 healthcare services are available, including NHS Pharmacy First, Instore Weight Loss Treatment Service and a Health MOT, which includes a free blood pressure check for those aged over 40. It is also home to the new Boots Opticians Optomap service – its most advanced eye test ever, which uses ultra-wide imaging technology to help detect signs of serious health conditions, including diabetes and hypertension.  

In addition to hearing health checks, a new immersion room in the Boots Hearingcare area allows customers to experience hearing devices in realistic soundscapes, from busy restaurants to outdoor concerts, to help find the perfect solution for each customer and their lifestyle.  

Jamie Kerruish, Chief Healthcare Officer at Boots said: “The new reimagined healthcare space in the Derby store is a brilliant example of our One Health concept – providing customers with a seamless experience across our full healthcare offering. In addition to a broad range of products and services, customers can also access advice, diagnosis and treatment for a range of healthcare concerns easily and accessibly on the high street. I’m delighted to unveil the new-look store to our customers in Derby, I’m confident they will love it as much as we do.”  

The Boots store is home to a team of healthcare experts, including pharmacists, health ambassadors, Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacists, Optometrists and Audiologists, bringing together a broad range of skills and expertise for customers.  

Additionally, the store will include Bupa’s instore GP service, which provides a range of pay-as-you-go services covering menopause, period support, men’s sexual health plans and cervical cancer screening. Derby marks the eighth location for this specialist service, enabling customers to see a GP at a time and location that is convenient for them.
