It's getting increasingly rare to see non chain, independent chemists in the UK these days, thanks…read moreto the domination of chains such as Lloyds and Boots. The Medipharma on Oak Tree Lane is a pleasant little locally owned business. It performs all of the services that the larger chain stores do, offering both off the shelf medicine and prescriptions, as well as small selection of more general products, such as household cleaning products, tooth brushes, and soap. The range of medicines available is surprisingly good for a small shop, and the staff are always very friendly, greeting you when you come in and wishing you well when you leave. Best of all (from a personal point of view) is that it really looks and feels (and even smells) like a traditional, local chemist, which you never find in the clinical, sterile chain equivalents. Highly recommended.

I came in here a while ago just to pick up some toiletries on my way home. There is no feeling…read moreworst for a girl than running out of shampoo. Ok, so maybe there are more drastic things that can happen in a girl's life, but bad hair can be prevented! This pharmacy stocks all of the things that you would expect; various medicines, toiletries and beauty bits and bobs. They obviously also cater for prescriptions. When I went in I was greeted by the staff, who seemed very friendly and were welcoming. They asked me if I needed any assistance with anything, or any advice. As I was only getting some shampoo I did not really need any help, but it was polite and professional for them to ask. The prices were reasonable too. Overall, I found this to be a good little pharmacy.

I'm not really in the habit of hanging around pharmacies (let alone reviewing them) but I thought…read morethis was worth a mention for a couple of reasons - firstly it had a massive range of what you might describe as alternative or homoeopathic remedies - if you have a driving test or job interview coming up, feel angsty and want to neck some Bach Rescue Remedy then this might be a good place to come. Secondly it has a rather strange clothes shop at the front that sells mostly skirts and blouses at rock bottom prices - I'm not vouching for the quality of these items (unless you're keen to rock that man-made fibre look of course in which case you'll be in heaven) but they are certainly cheap. The pharmacy itself is pretty big - extending across what looks like it might have been two shops and the people who work here are incredibly helpful and kindly.

It's saved me driving around frantically for an open chemist at odd hours of the evening on numerous occasions! The staff are welcoming and helpful. They'll give advice and recommendations on what is best for you, and they're always well-stocked with all the baby products, toiletries and medications you could need. The best thing for me is the ongoing sale they seem to have so I tend to make visits for all the wrong reasons - to shop! They have a £1 section where I stock up on much-needed toiletries and they have some interesting nail varnishes and make-up that is a bargain - food for thought for the ladies out there!

Does it really take that long to scour a few shelves? Anyway, that complaint cannot be launched against these guys - or in my brief experience anyway. The staff were courteous enough and the whole place was ship-shape. The only thing I would say to look out for is the weird slope as you approach the counter. I can imagine a few people may have been caught out and launched themselves over the counter...

Also with a young kid you have to deal with the occasional ailment or fever, and each time I've been in there to describe the symptoms of my young patient the staff have been friendly and helpful. Prices are fairly reasonable for a high street chemists, but you rarely find a bargain here.
