I frequent this pharmacy for a few reasons, the staff are helpful for a start, and they have a pretty decent range of pharmaceutical items that I use but the main reason is the fellow who runs the show, Nicholas and his attitude towards helping the community. Over a long period of time, several years at least, he has been very supportive of some of the more marginalised groups in the overall social mix, to the extent that he has been involved in distributing medicines to folk who could only ever get their medicine from a hospital in the past.
Thanks to the support of Nick Russell these particular folk are able to avoid the long wait in a hospital setting and collect their meds here. I like that, it is helpful and community minded, it assists these people, their carers and families, and it also lessens the load on the Pharmacy at the hospital. The whole thing is a welcome win/win situation.
The usual products you can get in a pharmacy are all here. Lip gloss, band aids, vitamins, nail clippers... the list goes on. The other thing that is good is the fact that it is part of the Central Market so it is all under cover and that can be a handy thing. If you go shopping at the Central Markets you can actually park your car upstairs in the car park for pretty reasonable rates, so you can buy medicines, fresh produce and do it all in the cool comfort under cover. That is great in a place like Adelaide where the summers get extremely hot and dry. read more
