Review titled Great staff and mostly great service but
Rated 3 stars out of 5

They often refuse to take out of date medicines/empty medicine containers or bottles when the instructions on the bottles state they must be disposed of at a pharmacy or NHS service. Their excuse is often "take them to the chemist round the corner" or "our bin is full, so come back another time and it's gonna be pot luck if the bins empty and we can take them". Both coshh and the Care Quality Commission say they must be disposed of responsibly and not be placed in the household rubbish bin or emptied down the toilet. This particular chemist has taken a lot of business from a chemist just around the corner due to its better opening times, which is great for the patient, and is obviously taken more revenue and consequently has a greater output of medicines. It would seem obvious to any sensible person that with this greater output there will be more medicines returned by their patients. Surely the solution would-be to increase the number of bins they have or get them emptied more ofter instead of turning back people who intially got their medicines from this pharmacy and want to dispose of medicines in a safe environmental friendly way. Personally this is the third time they have refused to take back unused/out of date medicines and there have been many times whilst standing in the queue when other people have had the same experience. I have put a similar review on their website the last time they refused to take returned medicines, about 2 months ago, and they clearly have not listened to their public or addressed this important issue.

I attended the pharmacy today to receive my Covid booster. From the point of booking to receiving my vaccination I felt I was dealt with efficiently and the Pharmacist was so friendly and professional.
