Hear What Our Patients Say

Very helpful pharmacist, took his time to see and assess my mum. Had the medication ready very quickly. Couldn’t be happier with the service. They are under new ownership now and 100 times better. Thank you for help. Would recommend

Samantha Minshaw

I’ve been using this pharmacy for over two years now, every member of staff is extremely helpful, friendly and approachable. There have been several standout times, when they have assisted me with my medication. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Kerry Langrish

This pharmacy has been so helpful finding me a solution for one of my medications which was no longer available in the strength I required.where the doctors and other pharmacies were unable to help so quickly.

Julia Allman

I use this pharmacy all the time for work. It’s at the back so I don’t use the shop bit. Mainly deal with Michelle, she’s polite, quick, and so helpful. Regardless if it’s a quick question / new meds / monthly meds, she always seems to get it sorted efficiently. They can deliver which is also helpful.

Nikki

I always have a extremely pleasant experiance in this pharmacy. Everybody is always very friendly and helpful with whatever problems i come in with. Highly recommend to everybody

Peter Parks

Excellent! A well stocked and well run pharmacy. The main pharmacist, a lady with long black hair, is knowledgeable and professional. She always takes the time to assist with any questions. She is a credit to this pharmacy. I don’t bother with Boot’s chemist since I started going here.

Yes. The assessment is private, and treatment can be collected quietly in plain packaging or delivered to you.

There are two main types, your prescriber recommends the most suitable based on timing, any medicines you take, and your health.

As with any medicine, side effects are possible. Your prescriber will explain the risks and benefits so you can make an informed choice.

No, emergency contraception only covers the recent incident. It doesn’t protect against further unprotected sex and isn’t a substitute for regular contraception. We can talk you through ongoing options.
