Testimonies
Below are some testimonies from some of our patients who have used the Pharmacy First Service, either online or by visiting our pharmacy.
Sophia: I used the service for my son, a very friendly pharmacist, and I received the delivery of the medication on the same day.
Mary: There were no GP appointments available, so I contacted Pharmalogic chemist. After a consultation with the pharmacist, he decided medication was not needed and instead provided me with advice. This service was far easier than waiting for a GP appointment, and I will definitely be using my local pharmacy again.
