Wellcare buys 15 Allcures pharmacies in pre-pack administration sale

A portfolio of 15 community pharmacies formerly operated by Allcures has been sold to Wellcare Pharmacy Group via a pre-packaged administration sale for an undisclosed price.

The pharmacies are located across the South East and South West of England, with branches in Essex, East Sussex and Somerset, and occupy a mix of high street, residential and integrated health centre locations. Parts of the Allcures portfolio entered administration on 29 October 2026, with RSM UK Restructuring Advisory LLP appointed as joint administrators. Allcures continues to operate 18 other pharmacy branches, which are unaffected by the administration.

Wellcare Pharmacy Group is an independent operator with 43 other community pharmacies across London.

Glen Carter, partner at RSM UK and joint administrator of Allcures, said: “The sale safeguards the jobs of nearly 100 employees and, importantly, ensures the continuity of NHS prescription and other essential pharmacy services for the local communities they serve.”

The sale was facilitated by Christie & Co.
