Review titled Appalling Service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Deborah Anne Temby - Posted on 15 May 2023
A prescription ordered last Tuesday, to the pharmacy lets say as late as Wednesday. Waited until the following Monday to allow them time and not hassle them. Waited over 10 minutes to get to the counter only to be told the prescription was not ready. I chose to wait, almost 40 minutes later I got the prescription, not complete i have to go back yet again to collect the missing medication. It was explained that they receive hundreds of scripts per day thats why mine wasnt done...... I had allowed 4.5 days to avoid this. Chemist closed between 1-2, why is it not possible to stagger lunch so that the pharmacy is available all day if they are so busy. I appreciate times are very hard, hence why I try to do my bit but quite honestly, this is not the first time, i see up to 6-7 people waiting at times for their prescriptions. However, it most definitely will be my last time as I intended to instruct another chemist, maybe with might help some other poor soul from having to wait all the time. Deborah Temby

Dear Ms Temby, I was sorry to see your message and learn of your experience as our team work hard to provide a high standard of service. It is certainly never our intention that anyone should be kept waiting for their prescription and I would seek to assure you that steps are currently underway to support the branch in getting back up to date. Whilst in no way seeking to excuse what has happened, the team had fallen behind due to the bank holidays, increased demands for other pharmacy services such as blood pressure checks and over the counter consultations, and increased workload in managing continual stock shortages and out of stocks. With regards to the limited service available over lunch-time. The funding model for community pharmacy does not currently enable us to employ more than one pharmacist and regrettably when they take a lunch break between 1-2pm, we are legally restricted to the service that we can provide. I hope my comments reassure you that we are doing our best to improve the service being provided and I sincerely hope that you will feel able to use our services again in the future. Your sincerely, Andrea Smith, Pharmacy Superintendent

Review titled Disappointing service
Rated 2 stars out of 5

2 prescriptions sent from the GP to the pharmacy one Monday one the previous Friday went to collect on Wednesday at 5.45pm told neither were ready to collect and couldnt be done before closing as too many people were waiting. I explained that the medication was needed (an inhaler for asthma) and was told they would give me the prescription to take the elsewhere if I couldn't wait. I then explained that it was just before 6pm that I am pregnant and don't drive so couldn't get to any other pharmacy before closing time.and as the prescriptions had been with them 48hrs + I thought this was ample time. I was then told come back in the morning we open at 9am but dont come until about 9.45 as it won't be ready. My thought was you took a prescription to a pharmacy and it was dispensed surely having to wait 3-4 days could worsen the condition ..... A disappointing service

Dear Patient, I was very sorry to see your post and learn of your experience. Every effort is being made to provide a friendly, reliable and efficient service from the pharmacy and I am disappointed that we have fallen short of these standards. Please be assured that your experience is viewed seriously. The team are currently working extremely hard to ensure that prescriptions are dispensed with reasonable promptness and the branch manager will take action to address the service comments you have described as we would certainly never wish to leave anyone without a medicine that they need. Whilst I am sorry that it has been necessary, thank you for bringing this matter to our attention so that we may take steps to improve the service being provided. Kind regards, Mrs A Smith, Pharmacy Superintendent Tel: 01332 348545
