Ixworth Pharmacy

They can lack medications at times but the staff do do all they can to source alternatives so I don't run out.

They have been unable to get my medication for three weeks and supply at other times has been difficult too and they've had to supply smaller amounts. There have been no other options given I have just had to wait for the supply to be delivered.

Attended stop smoking clinics. I have managed so far with their help to quit. I did have another attempt and failed but here they didn't judge me

They are usually pretty good (ie they have everything on prescription in stock) but there is usually a pretty lengthy wait for meds after seeing doctor

This pharmacy works "hand in glove" with the GP practice. All prescriptions are automatically forwarded there following a GP appointment. It appears to be a very busy service and employs a large number of people including a "robot" however it is painfully slow. There is invariably a queue and I have regularly had to wait more than 20 minutes following a GP visit before my prescription can be collected. There is an automatic renewal of prescription service but once again one has to queue and it is never a straightforward matter of collecting the drugs requested as very often they are awaiting delivery or a substitution has been made. Pricing and charging for prescriptions seems erratic On the plus side there is a private consulting room and the pharmacist on duty has generally been very helpful. I feel sorry for anyone in regular need of medical treatment as they must have set aside an unfair proportion of their time in order to receive the medication they require. I imagine Doctors are unaware of the time being wasted by their patients following GP consultations. Ideally I would like to collect my prescription and take it elsewhere but this is never offered.
