  • We've made it our mission to take the hassle out of prescriptions. To do this, we're changing how we work so that we can give you more choice in how you get your medicines.

    Whether you're under the weather or on long-term medicines, managing and collecting your prescriptions can add unnecessary extra stress. In the UK, the pharmacy model hasn't really moved on in the last 70 years, and we're working to change that.

    Our pharmacies

    We're developing a new store model which focuses on the things that matter most to our customers and fundamentally changes how our pharmacy teams work. We've redesigned the dispensing process and introduced new stock monitoring measures so that you don't have to wait for your medicines, and we've freed up our pharmacists to spend more time helping our customers.

    As part of this, we're also bringing new technology into our pharmacies. This includes 24/7 prescription pick-up machines – meaning you can collect your medicine any time, day or night – and a text notification service, so we can let you know when your prescription is ready to collect.

    The sooner they have a notification by email or text, for collection the better. My GP is not much better. Two weeks for prescription, though in fairness I thought GP Service or Well would let me know 'for collection'. I phoned a few times to check, but after the Covid message a few rings & it cut off; once I suspect it was answered & then hung up!. Such a simple fix in service would result in a 4 or 5. Have only used twice, and the first was worse, called down on a Saturday it was still closed by almost 10.00am, when I gave up. Fortunately I returned late afternoon & service was fine.

    Awful service. My elderly, housebound neighbour was told they couldn’t deliver her prescription. She asked me if I could collect it as she was extremely unwell . I arrived at the pharmacy at around 1.30pm , 1 person at the counter , 1 person in front of me and 4 staff in the shop. The young female serving was unbelievably slow, and it took her at least 5 minutes to locate the prescription for the lady in front of me and then told her she had to wait as the pharmacist was at lunch. The lady in front explained that she was collecting on behalf of her brother as he had also been told that they were unable to deliver and couldn’t understand why the prescription wasn’t ready. The young , slow female assistant called her “love” several times which is just awful. A young man then called me forward ( I’d been waiting about ten minutes at this point) I gave him my neighbours info, he the disappeared for 5 minutes , eventually returned and told me I would have to wait “about 10-15 minutes” . I pointed out that my neighbour had been told it was ready so why was I having to wait? I was told that they hadn’t told her that ...but how else would she know that her prescription couldn’t be delivered ? To cut a long story short, there’s a reason that I never use this pharmacy , the staff are unhelpful and the young female member of staff had a dreadful attitude. I asked for the name of the manager to be written down , they refused, I asked them to spell it for me m they refused. I suggested that as they now has several people in their shop waiting “ about ten to fifteen minutes “ for prescriptions, that they go and ask the pharmacist to cut short her lunch and get the prescriptions sorted. I was told “ oh we can’t do that , she must have her lunch break” . It turns out the pharmacist was sitting Judy behind a glass door right next to the counter so she must have heard what was going on and did nothing. The staff are slow and the processes they have in place are totally inefficient and ineffective. A member of staff eventually interrupted the pharmacist on her lunch and asked her to sort out the prescriptions. All in all I was in there around 30 minutes ....absolutely shocking. Dreadful customer service, dreadful processes, staff with attitude and zero empathy and an absolute lack of common sense to send your one and only pharmacist off on her lunch break at what is clearly your busiest time of day. Hopeless ...and looking at the stock on the shelves whilst I was waiting for 30 minutes , hideously overpriced. Terrible experience.

    I have been using this pharmacy since I was recommended by my Drs Surgery to visit. It has great links with my GP Surgery, and has always provided me and my family fantastic advice and service. Scripts ready on time with an efficient repeat prescription service, and an extremely skilled and knowledgeable Pharmacist. Now I would not go anywhere else. They offer a very helpful friendly polite service. Well done Well Pharmacy Great Barr.
