Rowlands Pharmacy at Ensbury Park not providing services that are advertised and have no knowledge or information about them. Very little intelligence too! They mess people about and don't provide meds with services which they have claimed money for!

I visit the pharmacy frequently it is always very busy. Siobhan is always so helpful and friendly. She leaves the counter to manage the queue and she communicates with people. For first time visitors it can be confusing but she alleviates a lot of problems by communicating. She is very protective and helpful always smiling. They are lucky to have someone as knowledgeable and helpful as her. I always can tell if shes on shift or not because when she is there everything is smooth and she knows what is going on.

The New Brighton branch of Rowlands has…

The New Brighton branch of Rowlands has to be the worst pharmacy in the country. Waits of an hour or more must be commonplace because its happened to me on more than one occasion. They don’t appear to have sufficient staff to meet demand, and sometimes they put a notice on their door to say that no pharmacist is present. If they send a message to say a prescription is ready to collect, it rarely is when you arrive the pharmacy. Apologies for wait time are rare, and overall customer service is poor and staff appear aloof and haughty.

I was dubious before as I had failed with the equivalent to champix quit smoking medication, but stuck with it, doing as advised.
On occasions it was testing, especially when I had no will power in general over the addiction of being a smoker of 44 years.
But I battled on and completed the course. On occasion I would get thoughts in my head but needed to shift my thiught to something g else until the slight thought passed.
I honwstly cant stand the smell of it now, knowing and thinking of how I must have smelt, my clothes, my breath and how my health had suffered. I am 7 months smokeless now and feeling amazing with every breath I take and with so much more energy and confidence.

Great service and always cheerful.

I find that service is always excellent. I receive a text when my prescription is ready and service is always with a smile.
This morning I emailed regarding a pending prescription, and received a reply within an hour! Brilliant.
