    Clifton Pharmacy is owned and run by Pauline M Driscol... and it has to be said that It comes as…read moreno surprise... this is a beautifully presented chemist that really could only be owned by a woman! The shop front is immaculate, painted in sophisticated tones of green and cream, and the shop itself is laid out with flair and imagination, as well as being well ordered and easy to use. Clifton Pharmacy also has to be one of the largest independent chemists in Cardiff, and whilst it struggles to compete in scale with the large outlet of Boots in the centre of town, it is nevertheless an impressively stocked shop that carries a really good range of stock. It is possible to buy pretty much anything here that you would find in a larger chain, and the prices are competitive too. What distinguishes this chemist from the chains however, is the level of service that you receive here. The staff are really friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, and so this is great if you are not entirely sure about what you are looking for. In my experience you also don't have to wait very long for assistance, which is a very different story to the chemists in town. There is rarely a queue for the check-out here, and everything seems to run as smooth as clockwork. Clifton Pharmacy also offers a free prescription delivery and collection service.

    It's not been an easy time for independent pharmacists in Adamsdown and Roath over the years. The…read morerise of Boots and the out of town supermarket chains have made it difficult to make your local chemist a going concern. We've even experienced chemists closing on certain estates with break-ins, and intimidation a regular feature chemists have reluctantly closed their doors. So I'm really pleased to fly the flag for the Clifton street Pharmacy where I've been going most of my life and Driscolls Pharmacy on Meteor Street which is close to where I live now. I think it's so important for us to support our local chemists as once they go I think it will be a long time before we get this vital local resource back. The chemist is a place where you get a lot of useful health information and support. It means not having to travel far to get prescriptions. Most people in my area don't have cars and rely on public transport.

    In case you happen to be a regular reader of my posts, yes, as you have probably worked out by now…read moreI do use a different pharmacy every time I get a prescription from the doctor. Well, I'd have nothing to review if I always went to the same place! Anyway, as pharmacies go (and let me tell you, they're all very similar!) this one does have a little bit of an edge for two main reasons. Number 1 - the service is vcery fast. I always wondered why it took so long to take a piece of paper, go back behind a screen and find the matching drugs. I still don't know. I assume that they have to fill in some kind of paperwork? Well, this pharmacy seems to cut through that documentation like superman. I appreciate the hurry. Number 2 - I like the Co-op. It's a good business, with good morals, good ethics and a good level of customer service.

    The Co-operative Pharmacy is one of the better chains of pharmacies available on the high street…read more There seems to be quite a few of them in South Wales, and as far as I can tell, they seem to even outnumber Lloyds, and possibly even Boots. The City Road Co-operative Pharmacy is quite small compared to their larger sites, and so they are limited as to what they can stock. Nevertheless, the carry a good range of products on the shop floor, and the pharmacy itself still manages to carry a full range of prescription drugs. They always have some great special offers on non-prescription drugs and toiletries too. I really enjoy the level of service that you get in a Co-operative Pharmacy. The staff are always really well trained and are consequently eminently knowledgeable about their product range. They can usually advise on local clinics, organisations and associations where appropriate. The pharmacists tend to be equally helpful.
