Our blood pressure checks service identifies hypertension risks in adults through professional monitoring and health advice. Eligible patients include those aged 40+ without a hypertension diagnosis, younger adults with family history, and referrals from healthcare professionals. We provide lifestyle guidance and specialist referrals when needed, working with the NHS to improve early detection rates in St Albans.

An elderly customer of yours told me personally that when she came in to the pharmacy needing a repeat prescription, which hadn't been authorised yet, she was spoken to very rudely and when finally picking up the medication the comment made to her by the pharmacist was 'i hope you've learned your lesson'. I find this behaviour shocking and reprehensible.

Excellent service, from pharmacists and other assistants. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. We have had our medication delivered during lockdowns as I have shielded. The delivery gentleman is a star!

I shant be using this pharmacy again. I had 2 switch from the chemist that I was using when corna first started as the pharmacy I was using would not deliver 2 my front door. I wished that I had never switched. Every time I put a prescription in there is always a problem. They also lie to me saying that not all my meds are on my repeat when they are cause I checked with my drs, but last time I ordered my meds they told me that my dr had refused 2 prescribe 1 of my meds when she didnt. It's not just the front line staff they have lied 2 me but so has the female manager. There attuide is not particularly

The older lady behind the counter with the shoulder length dark reddish hair is very aggressive and always seems ready for battle no matter what she is dealing with. Twice in the last month, I've come in to ask for specific products and both times, she's given me an angry retort and then launched into a tirade about how she feels on the topic. Apart from being highly unprofessional, it's also a great way to lose customers, myself and including anyone else who listened when she's reacted to a customer question. I will never go in the Pharmacy again. What a horrible woman.

Over priced. I'm sure they by their meds from another pharmacy then market up. I brought some pain killers that normally cost 1.50 to 2
But here they were 3.99. Apart from that but I suppose they can afford it. It's very well staffed and is always very tidy, clean and well stocked.

Rude staff and lack of knowledge , I have a sty , I asked for a specific eye ointment for stys , pharmacist said it wasnt a sty , gave me some mild eye infection ointment as she claimed it wasnt a sty. It didnt work , I spoke to a gp, who confirmed it was a sty and to get the ointment I originally asked for. You go into this pharmacy and ask for something that doesnt require a prescription and they question you and change what you require.
Rude staff and they make you waste your time , wont be going here again.
