Jardinespharmacy Reviews 

Oakridge park pharmacy
I checked the opening times on Google and the NHS app before going and was told on both they are open from 9am to 6 pm so I get there just after 1pm to buy pain killers to be told they can't sell them as the pharmacy is n lunch break , what is the point of being open if you can't provide the service after checking the times so I didn't waste my time and diesel absolutely ridiculous.

Went to the Bletchley store for a flu jab. The girl in the till got my name wrong, despite me telling her 3 times. The pharmacist then called out a name, not mine, so I ignored it. She then said, "you! LYDIA"
I said it wasn't my name and said my name yet again. She then instructed me to enter the treatment room.
It was incredibly rude and unprofessional to shout "you!" At a customer

FURZTON CHEMIST

I have always had a good experience with Jardines pharmacy Cambourne cambs. They are very polite, friendly and professional and I've never had a problem with getting my medications from them. And they are very quick getting your medication ready .
And today after going to 5 pharmacies looking to get on prescription from my respiratory nurse for a Aerobika oscillating posiitive expiratory pressure device, all other chemists said we dont stock them or have none in stock, Jardines pharmacy cambourne to the rescue had one and it was dispensed to me in under five minutes so I was very happy indeed. They really go above and beyond to help people.
Which is a lovely thing.

Jardines pharmacy in Deanshanger is great - staff are friendly in person and/or on the telphone - they listen - suggest and find an alternative if price is of concern or you tell them you have tried xxx and do not wish to take that again etc. Luv 'em!

Jardines pharmacy at Shefford next to the doctors surgery, rec' d my prescription on the 28th May. Took them nearly 3 weeks to prepare and then 2 items were still missing. A week later, they have still not even been ordered.
So nearly a month after they received my prescription, I still do not have my medications. This really is as bad as service can get from a pharmacy. Truly awful.

Sheila and the staff at the Osmaston Road Derby branch are brilliant, no problems at all. The problem lies with head office. This morning my wife went to collect her medication ( which was ready as per usual) but Sheila was unable to hand it over as there was no pharmacist to check. What a way to run a business. As usual Sheila came to the rescue by arranging to have it delivered tomorrow. What about customers who are desperate for their medication? Shame on you Head Office for not arranging for a pharmacist.

I can only speak from my own experience, but I’ve always found Jardines Pharmacy Meadow Lane Raunds to be very professional and supportive. The staff have a great understanding of the medication I take, and whenever I go in to buy anything else, they always take the time to explain whether it is safe for me to take alongside my current medication.

They are friendly, approachable, and work very well as a team. Their advice is always helpful, and they clearly have a strong work ethic. On the occasions when medication has been unavailable due to supply issues from pharmaceutical companies, they have always apologised with genuine empathy and explained the situation clearly. Unfortunately, they often have to deal with frustrations that are outside of their control, but they handle it professionally.

I’m very happy with the service they provide and really appreciate all the hard work of the team.

The pharmacist and staff at Meadow Lane are amazing. The ladies go over and above to make your experience as pleasant as possible. The pharmacist in particular is amazing.

I just want to say some of the reviews I have seen are completely wrong and the people that I have come across have been amazing at supporting me and just having a general conversation and give the best advice and help when needed and are very good with communication and are always smiling and kind and genuine human beings , I want to say thank you for all the support I have got from … Laura , samme , Sharon , Steph and meka they are people I can call friends and have supported me so much that I must give credit when it’s due this is in the Shefford area in central Bedfordshire also. So whatever negative comments u see is obviously a YOU problem not them and just remember these people have there own life’s and personal issues on top of helping others take that into consideration before judging others and try put yourself in there shoes.

These people are more interested in their closing times than helping people. Twice this week, I've been told they can't help as they are closing.
On Wednesday, I arrived to pick up a prescription just before 1pm. There was no-one in front of me. I asked for the prescription and the attendant said "we are closed for lunch".

Today, I arrived at 12:32, there was one person being served and another in the queue. The chemist then wasted five minutes nearly allowing a friend to queue-jump (until the lady in front of me forcefully reminded both that there was a queue), then, when I got to the front of the queue to ask for advice, the chemist told me (at 12:49pm) it was too late as they are about to close.

Very disappointing, and this pharmacy will not get a third chance from me.

A big 'thank you' to Ash and the team at the Buckingham Bullring Branch. We needed some prescription items urgently and Ash handled the situation really well - calling me as soon as the items were available. Top marks. Great job!

I had a remote appointment for birth control pills. The staff were very kind, and the delivery and service were free. I received the pills at home in less than a week.

Milton keynes branch

I got an infection and need my prescription,I have been waiting for 25 minutes for the call to be picked up and no one has responded , all I want to do is check if available and ready to collect.

Hi, I completely understand the comments from other reviewers about prescription issues and long queues, but I want to share my own experience from the past three visits where I needed help from the pharmacist. The young man at the Jansel Square branch has been absolutely fantastic.
About a year ago, I went in tears, struggling with a very painful infection. I had no help from my local surgery—as usual—and nothing from the Boots online GP service. I went to the pharmacy in desperation, hoping someone could help. This pharmacist did everything he possibly could: he wrote a handwritten note to the surgery, called them, and tried every route to secure a prescription for me. Unfortunately, the surgery refused his plea—no surprise there—and I ended up in A&E that same day to finally get the treatment I needed.
Last week, I returned with another urgent issue. The surgery had mistakenly sent my prescription to an online pharmacy, but I needed it that evening. Once again, the same young man went above and beyond. While I was still stuck on the automated phone system, he phoned Pharmacy2U, contacted the surgery, and managed to process the prescription himself. I walked out at 5:59pm with the medication I urgently needed.
I believe his name is Veron or something similar. He has been fantastic. Out of all the medical professionals involved during these episodes, he was the only one who truly seemed to care and genuinely wanted to help. Calm, thorough, and compassionate.
A real credit to the pharmacy. Well done.

My local Jardine's Pharmacy don't answer the phone, just leaving a forever rotating message saying to use the NHS app to check on the status of your prescription.

The problem is, they don't ever update this system. Ever. Every prescription I've ever had is logged as "awaiting preparation" whether it's one that's just been issued, or one that I've previously collected. Whether this is a month ago or years ago.

So, you're forced to go into the pharmacy if you want to check anything, which makes queue times far longer, and wastes your time if they're not ready.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nothing is too much trouble for Shabnam, also willing to help.

Fortunately, having read other reviews, our Jardines Pharmacy in Bedgrove Aylesbury are always excellent. Blaze and the team are always friendly and helpful and try to do whatever they can even though being a small pharmacy right by GP surgery and always very busy.

I had a pre-booked private Covid vaccination at Shenley Pharmacy, Milton Keynes. I received reminders, but when I got there they said there was no-one available to do it. (I had not been messaged). They assured me that if I went to Neath Hill Pharmacy, 5 miles away, I would be vaccinated straight away. When I got there, they said that they couldn't vaccinate me, for some reason which I forget. They directed me to Stantonbury Pharmacy, 2 miles away, and kindly called to check. I was told that they WOULD vaccinate me, but only after lunch. I killed more than an hour. At Stantonbury, the first employee went into refusal mode, but fortunately was overridden by her colleague, who had presumably taken the phone call.
All of this was so that I could give them £95 of my money! How does this pathetic company survive? My GP has had a robotic dispensary for 5 years. Every Jardines I've visited comprises a shabby shop, a small store-room, and several employees shuffling paper and falling over each other!
