Day - Night Pharmacy Limited operates 7 NHS pharmacies in 3 ICBs. Dispensed 804k NHS items in the last 12 months, broadly flat year-on-year. Estimated annual NHS income from dispensing and advanced services is around £2.7m. Deeply engaged with advanced services — nearly every branch is active, averaging 4.1 of 6 service lines. 6 branches (86%) hold hundred-hour contracts.
A step-change usually marks an acquisition; a steady slope is organic trade. The Pharmacy First launch in January 2024 shows up across most groups.
Parsed from Day - Night Pharmacy Limited’s iXBRL-tagged filed accounts at Companies House. Values reflect the consolidated group figure where the filing is a group account. “—” means the figure was absent or filleted out of that year’s filing (smaller companies can omit P&L line items when filing abridged accounts). NHS dispensing revenue is included in these totals but cannot be separated from private / over-the-counter income at Companies House granularity — see the estimated NHS income panel for the split.
100-hour contracts carry higher opening-hour commitments for a higher core NHS fee. Distance-selling pharmacies fulfil prescriptions by post only — no walk-in customers.
Day - Night Pharmacy Limited is strongly over-indexed to deprived communities (+30pp vs a uniform national distribution). National baseline: exactly 30% of LSOAs sit in the most-deprived third, so that's the neutral line.
Least-deprived third: 0% · middle: 40%
Each coloured segment is one of the ten IMD deciles (segment widths scale with branch counts). Red = most-deprived communities; green = least-deprived. A heavy red-weighted bar reads as “serves deprived communities” — a meaningful operator identity in a sector where historical contract allocation concentrated pharmacies in low-income areas.
Each sparkline shows one branch's 12-month items trend. The percentage is the six-month change (last six vs prior six months); it's coloured green when the branch is growing by 3%+, red when declining by 3%+, neutral otherwise. Shapes that cluster tightly suggest a homogeneous chain; wide variation points to an acquired portfolio of independents. Click any card for its profile.
Each dot is one branch. The vertical line is the median 12-month items in this network; the horizontal line is flat (0%) trend. Quadrants are descriptive, not judgemental: a smaller-volume branch can be entirely appropriate where it serves a small or remote population. Commissioners and operators typically look at the lower-left quadrant as an early-warning area. Click any dot for the branch profile.
Each cell is the branch's year-on-year % items change for that month — red for decline, stone for flat, green for growth, capped at ±25%. A branch that turns red and stays red is a genuine contractor; a stone band is stable; an intermittent amber-to-green ramp signals recovery. Rows are ordered by 12-month volume — the right-hand number is items dispensed in the last 12 months, coloured red/green by the branch's 6-month trend so growth and decline are visible at both granularities.
Half of Day - Night Pharmacy Limited’s 7 reporting branches sit above the 47th national percentile for combined service engagement (NMS, Pharmacy First, BP, DMS, contraception, flu per 1,000 items). 3 branches beat the national median; 4 sit below.
Long-running appointments suggest a stable owner-operator. A cluster of resignations or a short director pattern can indicate a recent change in control, a restructure, or onboarding of external investors.

Category M reimbursement, establishment payment, transitional payment, PQS banding and the £1,000 Pharmacy First monthly fixed fee are all excluded. Private and locally-commissioned income is not included.
Each cell is one month. Darker cells mean more branches joined the network that month. Evenly-spaced light cells suggest organic growth or absorption by transfer; concentrated hot cells mark discrete acquisitions.
