Very interesting but I wonder what would happen if you bought 6 items:-
1st pack £1.79
2nd pack £1.79 - £0.89 'Buy 1 Get 1 ½ price' discount = £0.90
3rd pack £1.79 - £1.79 '3 for 2' discount = £0.00
4th pack £1.79
5th pack £0.90 - £0.89 'Buy 1 Get 1 ½ price' discount = £0.90
6th pack £0.00 - £1.79 '3 for 2' discount = £0.00

But technically you are still owed an extra 1 'Buy 1 Get 1 ½ price discount so you might get another £0.89 discount giving the following totals:-
Buy 3 for £2.69
Buy 6 for £4.49

I have not tried this, but it's worth a go if you need a large amount of first aid gear. Anybody want to send this info to St John's Ambulance?

Some aren't always that switched on.

This definitely works online, it's because Boots have two separate promotions going on at the moment. 3 for 2 on selected "travel" items and BOGOHP on selected first aid items. There are some products which Boots have applied both discounts to.

Can anyone confirm if this is instore as well?

AND - for online shoppers -

. . . you can get an ADDITIONAL 2.5% Rebate by following this link to the referral board, too!

or preferably use the MSE referral link to rpoints to get a discount (in the blue bar at the top of this page) so not only the buyer but MSE benefits as well. If you go via the MSE affiliate link, a contribution is made to MoneySavingExpert.com, which helps it stay ad-free, sponsorship-free and free to use.
