McKesson UK has announced that it has changed its name to Hallo Healthcare Group.

This year, in April, European asset management group Aurelius completed the acquisition of McKesson UK.

Over recent years, the company has benefited from the introduction of additional services delivered across its more than 1,300 pharmacies, a growing digital offering and the ability to support the increasing trend of primary care being delivered to patients in their home.

On Monday, the company posted on LinkedIn: “Today we have officially changed our name from McKesson UK to Hallo Healthcare Group. This marks our separation from the McKesson Corporation and the start of our exciting new world under Aurelius Group ownership.”

Hallo Healthcare Group is the holding company brand name for some of the UK's leading healthcare organisations. It is made of LloydsPharmacy, AAH Pharmaceuticals ltd, LloydsPharmacy Clinical Homecare, LloydsDirect and Lloyds Online Doctor.
