Many years ago I lived across the road from this pharmacy, but I think today was the first time I actually went inside. I was there for a PCR test I booked through Doctapp. I read loads of reviews before booking and this was my best option for price, location and time until result. The pharmacist was friendly, and admitted he'd also passed the same place for years without going inside on his way to and from uni. He's done a lot to make it look more welcoming. I had previously taken two tests at the prompting of the symptom study app. The pharmacist explained how to do the test and what might be different from the previous tests I'd done. There is a separate room in the pharmacy to take the test, with hand sanitiser, wipes, a mirror, scissors to open the swab packet and cut the swab handle, an instruction sheet and a bin to put any waste in. This is actually duplicated, with two spaces separated by a screen where in theory two people could do the test at the same time, but I was the only one there. It was all straightforward enough, and there was a bin to put my sample in up near the front desk. I checked my email after I left and I already had an email outlining next steps: my sample will be delivered to the lab by 8pm, the lab will start testing by 10pm tomorrow, and results released usually by 2pm the following day. So just under 48 hours from when I took the test. These are the details I wanted when I was shopping around for a test! I hope people find it helpful. Now I just have to cross my fingers for a couple of days!

The owner of this pharmacy has shown absolutely no sense of good behaviour towards a sick patient. He's extremely rude. I went to go get prescriptions from here and he kept saying it wasn't available. He kept responding no to all my inquiries which I had.
