Hello!
“Hi, I’m Gary.
For me, community pharmacy should be somewhere you can come when you’re not feeling right, be properly listened to and get the clinical help you need.
I’m proud to be one of the UK’s first community pharmacists to be credentialed as an Advanced Pharmacist by the Royal College of Pharmacy - and even prouder that our team now includes another pharmacist who has achieved the same national standard.
We’ve built our pharmacy around making great clinical care easier to access. So whether you drop in or book a time that suits you, we’re here to help.”

Not sure whether we can help? Our pharmacy team can advise you.
What happens at the appointment?
Once helped by our trained team, if needed, you'll have a private, face-to-face consultation with a pharmacist.
We'll assess your symptoms, relevant medical history and medicines, then discuss the most appropriate next step with you.
This may include advice, treatment or referral to another healthcare service, depending on what we find.
A consultation may or may not result in a prescription or supply of a medicine.
NHS Scotland - funded care
NHS Scotland-funded pharmacy services are available from community pharmacies across Scotland, not just from us.
Depending on your needs and eligibility, your consultation here may be provided through one of these services.
Where this applies, there will be no private consultation fee.
Eligibility and the relevant service criteria will be checked when you attend.
If a private service is more appropriate, we’ll explain any charge clearly before you decide whether to proceed.
Drop in or book ahead - the choice is yours.
We've expanded our pharmacist team and consultation space, giving you more choice in how you see us.
Drop in when it suits you, or book ahead if you'd prefer to have a time set aside.
