Always a large Q

Always a large Q. Staff are good. There should be a priority line for just picking up prescription. Items on Prescription can be out of Stock. You wouldn't know till you go back the next day to pick the item up.

I would like to say how amazing…

I would like to say how amazing Slobhan in the BRI pharmacy, I sometimes dread having to pick meds up with the queue and waiting times.
She is always helpful helping people with babies, getting the queue down, sorting the lines of waiting people and if some meds are not there, she will find out why.

Good morning Ms Shortman,

Thank you for your kind words in relation to one of our colleagues. In order for me to ensure that this colleague is recognised for their hard work please can you provide further clarification on which pharmacy you attended as we do have more than one branch known as BRI.

Kind Regards

Chelsea
