Boots Pharmacy

Helpful staff but allow at least half an hour to get served as there are always crazy long queues.

Firstly I tried twice to call ahead because once before they closed for lunch. They didn't answer the phone. There was a queue of about 6 people ahead of me when I got there and only one person working behind the counter. I feel that they need to get another staff member if they cannot keep up.

Critically understaffed pharmacy, especially for one that is below the largest GP surgery in Winchester. Message to Boots management: either move to bigger premises and recruit more staff or close it down. Always a queue, always crowded. Theres also a 1980s retro feel to it as it closes at lunchtime! I can understand how the poor, overworked staff need a proper break! The staff are lovely, of course.

The chemists were very knowledgeable in helping me understand where to get an issue with my eye diagnosed, I opted for an over the phone appointment with a local optician, when I returned to seek medication for the diagnosis given to me by the optician the staff refused saying I should seek an in-person consultation, in which I learned that the issue is a lot worse than I was lead to believe on the phone. If they hadn't kept firm on their concerns then I may of had to wait much longer to receive the help I actually needed.

Always very busy and yes there is often a queue BUT brilliant helpful staff, often dealing with peoples involved queries. So be patient. Or Pay to park in Winchester and still have to wait.
