A consistently excellent service

A consistently excellent service, from order to delivery with great communication throughout.
I receive monthly reminders by email to order my prescription and this is followed up with regular updates until delivery is received.

I would like to say how amazing Slobhan in the BRI pharmacy, I sometimes dread having to pick meds up with the queue and waiting times.
She is always helpful helping people with babies, getting the queue down, sorting the lines of waiting people and if some meds are not there, she will find out why.

Good morning Ms Shortman,

Thank you for your kind words in relation to one of our colleagues. In order for me to ensure that this colleague is recognised for their hard work please can you provide further clarification on which pharmacy you attended as we do have more than one branch known as BRI.

Kind Regards

Can be variable

I have been using the service for a long time, from before the very start of the "Hey" days and always found it to be excellent with very few issues ever arising. Since it has become Rowlands I have noticed more issues, and items being cancelled without any real explanation, for example a couple of orders where the items were authorised by the GP and the prescription and barcode was in the NHS App. There was no proper explanation, I had to pick the items up from elsewhere. The level of communication has deteriorated as well, there is more of a delay when using the App and the quality of the responses are not great. Items are also taking longer to arrive.

Update : Further to a detailed investigation it was discovered that some items were being transmitted from the Doctor's surgery to Nightingale Services, an NHS organisation and not Rowlands. This has now been corrected.It was also reiterated that the service levels are longer than my expectation, it can be up to 10 days or so although normally faster. Thank you Chantal for your support. I have uprated the review to 5 stars accordingly.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for the frustration caused.

Following an investigation, we found that some prescription items had not been received by our pharmacy, which meant they could not be processed with the rest of the order. We worked with the relevant healthcare provider to resolve the issue, and the outstanding items have now been processed.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are pleased the matter has been resolved. If customers ever have concerns about an order, we encourage them to contact us so we can help as quickly as possible.
Thanks

Rowlands gave me the right brand of drug as stipulated by my GP.
I have an intolerance to other formulations which cause me ocular migraines and as hydroxychloroquine is something I have to take every day for the rest of my life, it’s been frustrating that my local pharmacies just can’t or won’t get the right one and keep presenting me with the ones that cause the migraines. I contacted the manufacturer and found that Rowlands do buy it so I thought I’d try them. They don’t have a pharmacy near me apart from the hospital one which I can’t use so I thought I’d try their online service. They got the right drugs first time and they arrived quickly and safely. I’m really happy. Thank you Rowlands

Let Rowlands Pharmacy take the strain for you.

You don’t have to worry about remembering to renew your prescription, Rowlands Pharmacy do everything for you
They send you reminders to renew your prescription,which you tick the medication needed and they forward your request to your doctors surgery who confirm and
check your order so that Rowlands surgery can then send your medicines directly to you.

you by tracked Royal Mail.
No hassle with long waits in doctors surgery to get your prescription…. No queuing in pharmacy to get your medicines
One of the best things I have ever done is sign up with Rowlands Pharmacy.

Simple and reliable

It's a simple way of ordering and receiving my prescription drugs. Our local chemist is often closed due to lack of pharmacists, so I find this less stressful.

In reply to your question, I order online, and they are delivered. Thanks
