I had been searching for a pharmacy to have my flu jab today and everywhere I went or called had a long queue or pre-booking around 2 weeks and I had to download their app to book online. I called Ashgrove pharmacy and I was told to just come. There was no queue, the jab was painless and the pharmacist explained everything fully. What a fantastic service!!!! Thank you.

I have used this pharmacy since moving to the area in 2006. The pharmacists and staff have been very helpful and often advise on matters relating to Health Services including prescription entitlements which lead to a change in charges for me, for which I am very grateful. Always greeted with a warm welcome even when it is busy.

If you need a specific toiletry item , they can also order it in for
