Boots on Coney Street is the largest of the many branches that Boots have in York's city centre. It…read moreappears to have had a minor refurbishment recently, so the store does look fresh and modern, compared to some other Boots stores which are going on a bit now. As well as the Pharmacy that you find in every Boots store, there is also an Optician and Hearing Care facility. Prices are competitive, other than the food/drink section, which I always find to be rather expensive at Boots compared to rival chains, as they rarely seem to have any offers in that section, combined with higher prices before promotional offers even come into play too. The selection is reasonable, the staff were friendly enough and this is a good Boots location overall that I would return to on future visits to York. 4*

When we were last in London (4+ years ago), we'd bought an item at a Boots Pharmacy that's only…read moreavailable via prescription in the U.S. - and since our insurance deductible is high for certain items such as this one, we were anxious to buy more of that item when we next visited England. We went to this Boots Pharmacy today ("pharmacy" being a huge understatement, as the store is large and it's very much like an American chain store) and bought the item we needed. The man who rang up our purchase (in the pharmacy section) was SUPER-friendly and we had a delightful conversation with him. Also; the store is well laid-out & very clean, and the selection looked very good.

Superdrug Stores is situated on Gowthorpe, the main street through Selby. Superdrug is part of a…read moreNational chain of what we used to call 'drug stores' where you would purchase face creams and shampoos. Within the store you will find products that range from hair, face treatments, toiletries, mother and babythe list goes on. In the last couple of years the brand name has zoomed-in on fashion, youth and vibrant colours and store layouts. Innovative new products and film and pop star endorsements have seen Superdrug a major sponsor of Fashion Week. Fast on the heels of Boots, Superdrug are narrowing the gap in the market share as they are substantially cheaper, and us savvy shopper do shop with our feet! The Selby Branch lacks the colour and lustre of the larger stores but its cheap and cheerful!

A R C Pharmacy is the pharmacy next to Posterngate Doctor's surgery. It is situated just off the…read morecorner of Portholme road opposite the 1811 Learning Centre. There is a fair sized car at the side of the pharmacy. A R C Pharmacy is an independent community pharmacy chain based in Selby. Having recently been taken over about 2 years ago the pharmacy offers the facility of picking up your prescription for you and delivering them to your home free of charge. They also offer a repeat prescription facility to save you having to call into the doctors. Many medications can be brought over the counter. The resident pharmacist is friendly and I have found him to be always helpful. My only complain is the time it takes to get your prescription, there is often a queue and waiting times can be long.

This is a really useful Boots location, located inside Leeds Station, although obviously smaller…read morethan their Leeds Trinity branch, the store is very useful in its' location, and the opening hours are also excellent, as a midnight pharmacy, it is open until 12 am, meaning you are able to pick up prescribed medications well into the night. The store appeared to be fairly presentable, it appears to have had a slight refurb to fit into the refurbished part of Leeds Station very well. Prices were a little high on the to-go food and drink, selection and pricing is better at other outlets inside the station including WHSmith and Sainsbury's. The staff seemed friendly enough. 4* - The store is good, mainly for convenience and the midnight pharmacy.

I have had to use this pharmacy on occasion, and I would estimate that I encounter a problem around…read more75% of the time. I have been left sitting and forgotten while waiting for prescription items several times. One time I was waiting almost an hour (I was collecting prescriptions for 3 people) and when I went to the counter and asked about my order, they hadn't even started on it and actually laughed and told me that they had forgotten about me even though I was the only person sitting there at that point. I have been given wrong and bad (even dangerous) advice by someone I can only presume is not qualified to give medical advice. I have lost count of the number of times that prescriptions have been lost or mislaid, even when sent electronically, requiring me to go backwards and forwards to the doctor's surgery. If they do not have all of the prescription items in stock, they don't tell me before making up the prescriptions, to give me an opportunity to go elsewhere. There are many items on my prescriptions, and every other pharmacy that I visit will tell me before starting to make up the prescriptions if there is something that they don't have in stock. I have been told that they don't have an item in stock, when I can see said item in boxes piled up behind them. I was told I would have to come back for that item 'next week' and they could not complete my prescription. When I pointed out that I could see the item, the prescription was begrudgingly made up without apology. I have had items missing from prescriptions and had to go back. In recent years, I have always checked the bag before leaving the premises as I have come to expect problems and mistakes, and some items that I collect for other people are controlled drugs and this could cause problems for me if they are not in the bags when I deliver them. The final straw for me was yesterday when I went in with my husband who had grit in his eye and he asked for saline solution or something else to try to flush it out. He explained that his eye was sore and bloodshot and asked for advice from the young woman behind the counter. She recommended a box containing what she called an 'eye wash' and said that it was the best product for him to use as it would disinfect the eye as well as cleaning it. When we got home and opened the box, we saw that it was actually contact lens cleaner and not an eye wash at all. We checked the product online and could not find anything that advised putting the product directly into the eye, and that it would have damaged his eye. When we took the box back, we were given a refund and it was only at that point that the young girl asked the advice of the pharmacist who recommended an Optrex eye wash. The pharmacist was not told that my husband had been sent home with contact lens cleaner to put in his eye. I'm just glad I was with him to be able to read the box and instructions. I won't be setting foot in that place again and will walk into town and use one of the Boots pharmacies where I have very rarely (if ever) encountered a problem.
