Another satisfied customer!

It's not just people we help. Bertie's Mum regularly orders his tablets from us. When she brings in the prescription from the vet we have them ready and waiting for her to collect when she's next passing by the pharmacy.

This saves Bertie's Mum lots of pennies that go towards treats like carrots!

Not only did all the bands look and sound great but they were marching past the Pharmacy with it's new branding and signs so we just had to put up a couple of pictures!

Facilities

The pharmacy has been owned and managed by Karen Braithwaite since 2003. Karen is a registered pharmacist and is Superintendent Pharmacist of Aberlour Pharmacy. She studied at the University of Bradford and graduated in 1995 after completing placements in community pharmacy and hospital pharmacy in the UK and in a teaching hospital in Spain. Since graduating Karen has worked in community pharmacy and in the NHS as a prescribing adviser and manager.

The pharmacist, either Karen or Gordon, is available without appointment for advice on prescription medicines and treating illnesses yourself with over-the-counter medicines.

Karen and Gordon are assisted by Jill Morrison, a Pharmacy Technician registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council. Jill ensures the dispensary runs efficiently, helps patients with their prescription medication and also gives healthcare advice at the counter. The team is completed by Shona Dent and Dot Gall, who are both trained Medicines Counter Assistants.

The private consultation room can be used for any consultation, just because it allows you and the pharmacist to talk without being interrupted.

We offer the following services:

Prescription collection / Flu vaccination / Smoking cessation / Emergency contraception / Advice about minor ailments / Dry cleaning
