This is a shop that I walk past so often, but yesterday I popped in and had a browse - and I was…read morepleasantly surprised!! They have loads of lovely gift ideas that won't break the bank, and loads of things to treat yourself too - including a mini chocolate fountain for little over £5! They sell brand named perfumes at (mostly) below RRP and they obviously have the pharmacy side of things too - and although I've not used it, when I was there yesterday, I overheard a man being told about special offers on a medicine so that he could save money! The shop isn't very big, and would be a nightmare to navigate pushchairs or wheelchairs around, but it's well worth a look if you're passing by. The staff are pretty friendly too, and there wasn't a queue when I went - but if there was a queue, then browsing would be a bit of a nightmare! Lots of health/exercise stuff for fairly cheap prices too -great if you've made a new years' resolution!!

Boots is the pharmacy/health and beauty equivalent of a supermarket. It's got a pharmacy section on…read morethe top floor, with pretty much every medicine you could think of and well-trained staff. The ground floor has health and beauty products ranging from sanitary products to bubble bath to make-up. Pretty much all mainstream brands are in here and Boots own-brand products are often exactly the same as more expensive equivalent brands, but half the price. They do a small range of food and drink for snacks and lunchtime, which tries to be healthy, but is just the same as you can get in most high street shops that are trying to diversify into lunches. Keep an eye out for lunch deals where you can get a sandwich, snack and drink combo deal for a good price.

You may think that every Boots in the country is going to be the same; generic, bland but ultimately useful. But you'd be wrong! This Boots is FANTASTIC. It's absolutely massive for a start so you're bound to find whatever cosmetic or pharmaceutical product you're after. And best of all it has the most helpful and friendly staff of any shop in Bath. Whenever I've been in, one of the shop assistants has been at hand to help me find me exactly what I'm after or recommend something new to me. This Boots also has a great range of cosmetics and perfumes which I've never seen in any of their other stores. My best buy here has been the new Prada perfume at £35 which was sold out everywhere else I'd been.

Boots should have stayed in their original position, which was a much bigger store, and saved themselves a packet of money. The layout has been kept more or less the same, though, which is a boon, as I got to know my way around the other one pretty well when hunting for cold remedy and the like. It's just that I hate coming into Westgate. Bah.

The lower floor is where the pharmacy is Though this is always very busy And even though they provide chairs it can be a long wait for a prescription. All basic Boots toiletries and makeup are on this floor. Agree with previous review and like the privacy of scanning own purchases. The other nice thing about this Boots is the familarity of a lot of the faces who are in their 50s and 60s and seen to have been working here for decades.

The pharmacy section of Boots in Cheltenham is a real asset to the store. The pharmacy staff are…read moreall very helpful and knowlegable, and always happy to give you advice. They also have a very large stock of medicines for all of the most common ailments, and those that are available without prescription are all laid out very well and categorised by symptoms. This makes it really easy to find what you're looking for. The new self scan checkouts are also a real plus and perfect for any shy people that don't like buying embarrassing items! The store is also open til 6pm throughout the week which is perfect for people who work 9-5.

Now, Birmingham... Let's talk Health. I have reviewed my Dentist and my Doctor, but there are a…read morehost of other places in Birmingham which are striving to keep us fighting fit. For my services which are not teeth related, I use the multiple places in Boots. Boots (as you will already know) is a chain pharmacy and beauty store - available in train stations, city centres and most places where you may need to grab a pack of paracetamol or some plasters. This boots, however, offers a whole host of other services you may need for a range of health needs. Upstairs are your beauty counters, hygiene products and gifts (the discount on gifts after christmas is particularly good - offering 50% - 70% off), but on the lower floor are it's other services. If you pop on the escalators and head downstairs you'll find an optician, an NHS walk-in, a doctors surgery, Birmingham Uni dentists and a sexual health clinic. With the doctors surgery and dentist, you will need an appointment. The optician will see walk-ins (depending on how busy they are) and the sexual health clinic and NHS centre are totally walk-in led. This, obviously, can lead to long waiting times - but if you desperately need a doctor and can't get an appointment at your local clinic, this place is a lifesaver (probably quite literally). As well as the various medical services I have mentioned, Boots offers a "stop smoking" clinic and other health led initiatives. When I first moved into Birmingham City Centre I had no idea where my local health services would be (I was dreading having to catch a bus out of town), so for all of those who work or live in the City - this place is your one stop shop for when you're feeling off or need some supplies.

There's also the more seasonal items. Currently there are sunglasses and lotions located towards the back of the store. It's never been overly busy when i've been there even at 5pm on a weekday which is perfect if you want to spend a bit more time browsing. The meal deal is a good price (£3.49 at last check) and it includes a sandwich/wrap, a drink and a snack (up to the value of £1.25 so go for the larger ones!). The service is always quick as there's never really a queue which is great if you're in a rush.

I'm only giving 4 stars because the Pharmacy is extremely busy which means the counter staff can be under a lot of pressure. Also, the owner isn't on site and the permanent pharmacist left. I don't know if they found a replacement yet but for some time there were locums and once I came in at 10 am and the locum had not yet arrived because s/he was coming from London and got held up in traffic. This meant I couldn't collect a prescription.
