LloydsPharmacy

After years of going to this Pharmacy, previously the Night Owl who were excellent, it beggars belief what Chineham are left with now. Ive now taken the decision to go elsewhere for my prescriptions. The last straw was being told my doctor hadnt sent prescription over. Personally visited surgery and receptionist raised her eyebrows when I repeated what I was told, heard it all before no doubt, half hour later pharmacy mysteriously found my prescription. The same day they also said they had requested repeat prescription for medication I was picking up for family member but surgery hadnt sent through. Phoned that surgery and they said Lloyds definitely hadnt ordered. Not the first time this has happened and over hearing other members of public in the shop, happens on a frequent basis. Also on a few occasions driven over to Chineham to see notice on door that they are closed, without notice. I wont be going back.

What a shocking Pharmacy. Had to wait ages for someone to come to the counter, explained that 111 had told me to go there to be seen. I explained a pharmacist had already seen a picture of the issue and advised there was infection. I was told by the woman in the pharmacy that it wasnt infected and in fact healing from a wound. (I have no knowledge of any wound) Despite fluid coming from the infected area in the last 48 hours. The lady then tried to sell me off the shelf items so I left. Having spoken to a GP following the visit to Lloyds, they confirmed it was infected and I needed antibiotics.

As others have commented, prescriptions are never ready and they can never seem to locate on their system. On average, expect to spend around 30 minutes in here. Really poor service for people who rely on daily medications. They also seem unable to work in collaboration with Lloyd's Direct.

Shocking waiting times, rude staff that lie to your face. An absolutely shambolic chemists, can't even have a prescription ready after waiting seven days. My partner just had to wait 45 mins for severely disabled daughters medicine after being told yesterday to come back after 4, none of it ready after a 7 day wait, shocking. My advice if you value your sanity go elsewhere. Needs shutting down.

I had a vaccination booked in advance. Upon arrival I was greeted and seen promptly by a lovely young lady, who was friendly and professional. (The vaccination she gave me was even painless!) Credit to the pharmacy.
