Review titled Great Fast Advice From Pharmacist
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Susie - Posted on 20 November 2023
Went in and asked to see pharmacist. Saw them straight away and they identified I had Shingles on my face and eye. They explained urgent treatment was required and imperative I saw my doctors to obtain medication. I did see a doctor within an hour or so and as I obtained the prescription drugs I needed my illness was much lessened and recovery was much quicker. Thank you to all involved and thank goodness I saw a pharmacist so quickly. Always best to check with a professional any health concerns.

Review titled Fantastic service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Karen Barraclough - Posted on 23 May 2023
I visited K Pharmacy 23/05/2023 requesting assistance from the pharmacist regarding an infection - I wasn't certain whether the infection warranted GP treatment. The pharmacist immediately gave me a consultation and I was able to proceed with getting the treatment I needed. Brilliant service, helpful, knowledgeable, professional and friendly - just what I needed. K Pharmacy can be assured of my continuing patronage. I would also comment that it is really helpful knowing the pharmacist can assist in matters where a GP visit might not actually be required, especially in consideration of the current climate of packed out surgeries.

Review titled Terrible experience
Rated 1 star out of 5

I don't usually write reviews, however, I feel so upset that I needed to share it. K pharmacy has always been brilliant for my family & I, in the past, but prior to the Easter Bank Holiday my experience was one of anguish, desperation & disgust. My child had tonsillitis and was prescribed PenicillinV from the neighbouring gp practice. I was told there was none in stock (not the first time this has happened). They did not offer an alternative & I was advised to go elsewhere. I said excuse me what about the alternative (amoxicillin). (I work in the nhs as an Advanced Practitioner in Imaging. I also have extensive knowledge of antibiotics). Nonetheless, unless a gp ok'd it they refused to provide an alternative which is against the Department of Health ssp to ensure medicines are available while the demand is high due to the rise in strepA & scarlet fever. The ssp apply to the PenicillinV so I was shocked that they refused to give an alternate medicine & I had no choice but to return to the gp next door. The gp agreed with me & immediately produced a new prescription. I returned to K pharmacy only to be told that the new prescription was not there & they are closing!! So basically go somewhere else. I was left reeling as my child was ill & they couldn't & wouldn't wait 5 minutes for the prescription to come through to make up the amoxicillin suspension. The gp informed me it was done before their closing time albeit very close to 6pm. However, they ushered me out saying they are closing. I returned to the gp practice to inform them & the member of staff i spoke to was shocked too. I sat in my car & cried.i saw the pharmacy staff leaving 10 minutes later so they had time to make up the suspension!!! They simply did not care enough. If a patient needs my care in my role & its past my working hours. My colleagues & I don't mind staying behind for them. It's what we do as health care professionals. I ask you K Pharmacy, if this was you or a member of your family, or your child, & you were in the care of my department how would you feel if I said no I'm not seeing you, I'm going home, it's Bank holiday!!! You'll have to go somewhere else. I imagine you would be disgusted & would no doubt put a complaint in!! Perhaps you should treat people how you would like to be treated and think of them as a member of your family. Would you stay behind 5 minutes for your families? Indeed you would! Not many people seem to care anymore & it's so saddening. Thankfully, my child received his medicine at another pharmacy !
