Company profile
researched Aug 2026PillSorted is a Cambridge, UK-based pharmacy that dispenses NHS and private prescriptions, sorts medications and delivers them to patients' homes. Patients can nominate PillSorted as their NHS pharmacy, after which the company coordinates repeat prescriptions directly with the patient's GP and delivers medicines monthly free of charge, along with medicine charts intended to simplify complex regimens. Alongside NHS dispensing, it offers private telehealth consultations for common conditions with treatment shipped to the patient, NHS-funded Pharmacy First consultations including a free contraception service, and an online shop of over-the-counter and wellness products spanning pain relief, allergy, gut health, skin, vitamins, sexual health and women's health categories.
The company markets a weight-management programme as a specialism, describing itself as a SCOPE-certified partner and offering injectable and oral weight-loss treatments, personalised support, free delivery and ongoing telehealth review and treatment adjustment. Its sexual health range includes erectile dysfunction treatments.
Behind the consumer service, PillSorted has built a technology platform for pharmacists intended to automate routine dispensary tasks and to turn pharmacy interactions into consultations or GP referrals where needed. It integrates with NHS systems such as the NHS Spine, enabling a feedback loop from pharmacies back to GPs, and lists itself alongside local stores on GPs' systems. Deliveries are made by post or by the company's own delivery fleet.
Founding story
Founder Zeinab Ardeshir, a pharmacist of more than 17 years and the company's Superintendent Pharmacist and CEO, has described starting PillSorted out of a desire to spend more time listening to patients and helping them understand their medications, building technology to complete dispensary tasks more quickly and accurately so pharmacists' time can be redirected to patient care. Mohammad Mohaghegh is named as co-founder and has been described as President.
Business model
PillSorted operates as a registered pharmacy serving both NHS and private demand. It dispenses NHS prescriptions, for which patients nominate it as their pharmacy, and provides NHS-funded Pharmacy First consultations, while also selling private telehealth consultations and prescription treatments (for example weight loss and erectile dysfunction) and over-the-counter products through an online shop. Delivery to the patient's door is free. Coverage has also described the company as building a B2B SaaS pharmacy operation, with services segmented toward patients, clinicians, carers and care homes.
Revenue is generated from NHS dispensing and NHS-commissioned pharmacy services, private telehealth consultations and prescription treatments priced per course or per tablet (for example weight-loss treatments from £91 and erectile dysfunction treatments from £0.49 per tablet), and online retail sales of over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and health products.
Traction
The online shop lists 786 products across categories including pain relief, allergy, gut health, skin, supplements and women's health. The company publishes customer testimonials describing same-day and monthly prescription delivery. It is listed in Hoxton Ventures' portfolio, with the investment made in 2022.
Latest developments
The company currently markets clinically proven weight-loss treatments as a headline offering, including injectable treatments, orforglipron tablets and oral semaglutide, alongside a weight-maintenance plan, NHS Pharmacy First consultations with free contraception, and a broadened over-the-counter product range.

Market position
PillSorted positions itself as a personalised alternative to traditional main-street pharmacies in the UK, where independent pharmacies have closed and larger chains have faced demand pressure. By hooking directly into NHS systems, it appears alongside local stores on GPs' computers as a nominated pharmacy option, and differentiates on regular pharmacist review, home delivery and technology-driven dispensing.
The company combines NHS and private prescription fulfilment in one service, offers free monthly home delivery via post or its own delivery fleet, provides medicine charts and automated repeat management, gives patients access to digital consultations with a regular pharmacist, and uses automation to free pharmacist time for patient-facing care. It also markets SCOPE certification in weight management.
Technology
PillSorted has developed a technology platform for pharmacists that automates repetitive dispensary tasks and supports converting patient conversations into consultations or GP referrals. It integrates with NHS infrastructure including the NHS Spine, creating a feedback loop from pharmacy back to the GP, and supports digital consultations with a regular pharmacist. Patient-facing tools include automatic repeat management and easy-to-read medicine charts. Funding raised in 2022 was earmarked in part for advanced technology development including predictive medicine capabilities.
Go-to-market
UK patients using NHS repeat prescriptions, including those with complex medication routines; private telehealth patients seeking treatment for weight management, sexual health and other common conditions; and, through its platform work, clinicians, carers and care homes, with an ongoing trial supporting care workers as part of an integration with social care.
Geography
Headquartered in Cambridge, UK, with a team of healthcare and technology professionals based there; the company has also been described as London-based and planned to expand its services within London and the wider UK.
