Customers can now enjoy: 💄 A modernised beauty hall featuring 40+ new premium brands 🪮 Expanded professional haircare, including Redken and L’Oréal Professional ✨ A significantly extended fragrance range with new luxury and niche scents ❤️🩹 A redesigned healthcare area with additional private consultation rooms and improved access to services such as flu and travel vaccinations, blood pressure checks and NHS Pharmacy First Faye Thompson, General Manager, shared: "Our store has supported Newcastle for decades. One team member has worked here for over 50 years. It’s exciting to continue supporting our customers from our revamped store, which offers so much more than before. Boots really does support every customer, at every stage of life.” A huge thank you to the team for bringing this transformation to life 💙

Yesterday the Government confirmed a ban on the supply and sale of wet wipes containing plastic in England, which is a positive step for our communities and the environment. We acted early, removing all wipes containing plastic from sale in 2023 and moving to biodegradable plant based alternatives, and we label all Boots brand wipes "Do Not Flush" to help prevent sewer blockages and microplastics. 🌍 Steve Ager, our Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, said: "We were proud to be one of the first retailers to remove wipes containing plastic in 2023. We welcome the government's action; a ban will have a much bigger impact than retailers acting alone."

We’re proud to share that Boots has been shortlisted in two categories at this year’s The King's Trust Partnership Awards: the EDI Champion Award and the Employability Award. 🏆 Through programmes such as Get Ready for Pride and Get Into Retail, we’ve supported hundreds of young people with the confidence, skills and opportunities to take their next steps into work. Thank you to our colleagues and The King’s Trust for making this possible!

As part of our ‘Keeping Yourself Safe’ campaign, this week our Security, SOS and Crime Intel teams are getting behind the National Business Crime Centre’s Safer Business Action Week. The week focuses on the ongoing police and partnership response to tackling retail crime, anti-social behaviour and other crimes impacting businesses in the local communities. The teams will not only be out and about in stores supporting them on the ground, but they’ll also be attending key meetings with the Police, Business Crime Reductions Partnerships and Business Improvement Districts, to continue to tackle retail crime. Last year’s Safer Business Action Week resulted in seven prolific offenders arrested, more than 900 events logged on Auror, our incident reporting system, and 3,994 two-way panic alarms triggered into the CCTV Monitoring Centre (CMC), as well as thousands of positive interactions with local retailers and businesses about the issues they face. #SaferBusinessActionWeek

Wishing all future Pharmacists the very best of luck in your GPhC exams! ✨
