Feedback from our Patients

I used the Pharmacy First service for my son, very friendly pharmacist, and I received the delivery of the medication on the same day.

I couldn't get a GP appointment, so I contacted Pharmalogic. The pharmacist advised me. It was easier, and I'll use my local pharmacy again.

We are pleased to launch the Pharmacy First Service, and be able to support our patients. It is a great opportunity to be part of the long term plan of the NHS. Pharmalogic Chemist provides care for over 250 care homes across the UK. We aim to be able to offer same day delivery of medication to our care home residents. I am confident we will be able to provide a great service to our patients by utilizing the existing networks of drivers. Our team of pharmacists are excited to be able to help patients and support NHS plans to recover access to primary care.
