“Thank you Staveley Pharmacy for the way in which you dealt with my dad’s prescription following our call to NHS111. It was very much appreciated.”
“Didn’t have my prescription in stock due to suppliers being out of stock, so rang round other chemists in the area. When no luck the owner rang GP to get the prescription changed for a similar alternative. Stayed open late whilst waiting for GP to get back in touch. Incredible service and very much appreciated thank you.”
