Avricore Health INC. (TSXV: AVCR,OTC:AVCRF) (the "Company" or "Avricore") today announced the planned expansion of its HealthTab™ platform across North East London (NEL), with deployment to an additional 70 community pharmacy sites, building on the success of its NHS-linked cardiovascular programmes delivered in collaboration with Barts Health NHS Trust.
The programme has attracted national attention, including recent coverage by BBC News highlighting the growing role of community pharmacies in delivering cardiovascular care. The additional sites are expected to be deployed in the coming weeks, reflecting strong pharmacy engagement, increasing clinical demand, and alignment with NHS priorities to shift more care from hospital settings into the community.
"This programme is helping to set a new standard for how point-of-care testing can be delivered effectively and responsibly through community pharmacies, while meeting the clinical and governance expectations of the NHS," said Rodger Seccombe, CEO of Avricore Health.
The planned deployment reinforces Avricore's strategic focus on the UK and demonstrates the scalability of HealthTab™ within complex NHS environments. As pharmacy services continue to expand nationally, HealthTab™ is well positioned for further growth across England in both preventive and treatment-linked care pathways.
