Puri Pharmacy Prescription Services

How does Pharmacy First work?

Pharmacy First service is aimed to provide convenient and timely access to healthcare services through community pharmacies. In this service, you can visit Puri Pharmacy without the need for a visit to your GP.

Our pharmacist will conduct a consultation with you and make recommendations, similar to how your GP does. We will be able to prescribe certain prescription-only medicines under a Patient Group Directive (PGD), such as antibiotics.

What our customers say about our services

Rahul was fantastic with the ear wax removal for me and my brother
Very nice, patient and professional
I would recommend anyone with ear wax to see Mr Rahul at Puri Pharmacy

Ahmed
Earwax Removal

The team at Puri pharmacy have always been extremely helpful and have offered great advice to me over the years. My medication is always ready on time and it’s extremely refreshing to walk in and be greeted with smiles.

Baz S

I was really pleased with the customer service and professionalism carried out by Rahul, he really is a gem.
I had my jab done at this pharmacy, and was happy that I actually had no pain at the time of the jab or afterwards. I would definitely recommend using this pharmacy as the staff are fast, efficient and polite especially Rahul. Thank you Rahul 🙏

Ferhah Ali

Great service and extremely professional staff. Me and my husband just got our vaccines and the whole process was really smooth and stress free. They have thoroughly explained the procedure and the team was absolutely friendly. Keep doing the great work and would highly recommend this place to other people 🙂

Gabriela Apostu

We’re very lucky having a pharmacy locally, with such helpful staff. Being able to telephone or just pop in to request my dad’s prescription means no GP telephone queues do a win/win all round.

Michelle Patis

I regularly visit Puri Pharmacy for my kids prescriptions and thanks to the staff who are very helpful. I never had to wait for long. I recommended others to use this pharmacy for the excellent service. Once they queried my GP about my son’s prescription and got it changed due to previous allergic reaction.
