Report written by Nick Moore

Was only a short ride to get from mission 1 of today to the Boots pharmacy on Euston Road to pick up some meds for Mr J, whereupon I discovered that Boots pharmacy (N1C 4QL) has now closed and relocated its staff and prescription service to the Boots inside St Pancras station - so was a quick walk through an eerily deserted St Pancras.

The pharmacist there was able to find Mr J's records but then unfortunately confirmed that none of the medicines were available for him at the moment, but that they expected it all to be ready tomorrow.

I got back on the bike and rode up to Mr Js to break the news to him at his door and outline the situation. After a bit of explaining where GoodGym fitted in the chain, whereupon he said "Thank you, it's what you're doing that keeps people like me going at the moment", I told him Boots would text him tomorrow to confirm the meds were in.

He said he would speak further with his GP if there was a problem as he was running very low on one particular med. We both understood that a further GoodGym mission had been set up for the following day to do an additional pick up, so hopefully this may be able to then fully complete this mission for Mr J this week and provide him with the medicines he needs.
