  • We've made it our mission to take the hassle out of prescriptions. To do this, we're changing how we work so that we can give you more choice in how you get your medicines.

    Whether you're under the weather or on long-term medicines, managing and collecting your prescriptions can add unnecessary extra stress. In the UK, the pharmacy model hasn't really moved on in the last 70 years, and we're working to change that.

    Our pharmacies

    We're developing a new store model which focuses on the things that matter most to our customers and fundamentally changes how our pharmacy teams work. We've redesigned the dispensing process and introduced new stock monitoring measures so that you don't have to wait for your medicines, and we've freed up our pharmacists to spend more time helping our customers.

    As part of this, we're also bringing new technology into our pharmacies. This includes 24/7 prescription pick-up machines – meaning you can collect your medicine any time, day or night – and a text notification service, so we can let you know when your prescription is ready to collect.

    Well Southway - Southway Drive is a pharmacy near Plymouth, Devon and provides a list of NHS and Non NHS services listed below if available. The pharmacy has 5 reviews with a rating of 2 out of 5.

    I have used this Pharmacy for just over two years to get my repeat prescriptions but have become increasingly dissatisfied with the overall service I have received. It seems that the staff simply don't care that I have to go back to them over and over and they can never get my prescription right, something is always missing. I have been using a different pharmacy and over the last five months they seem to manage to get it right every time. I simply don't understand how it can be so difficult for this pharmacy to get something so simple so spectacularly wrong every time. Anyway, since they don't appear to care that they cause me massive inconvenience, my time with them has ended and I hope that causes them inconvenience.

    I find the pharmacy staff very helpful and cheerful. I have repeat prescriptions every month or so and yes sometimes I have to wait to order some of my drugs but as the pharmacy is under growning pressure within the NHS I think they do a brilliant job. Keep up the good work!

    I have used this Pharmacy for many years to collect my repeat prescriptions but have become increasingly dissatisfied with the overall service I have received it got so bad that I have changed to a different shop .They issue a card with the date you can pick up your next repeat prescription but on several occasions their was no medication ready for me on or after this date because they forgot to order it. I never once got as much as an apology and on one occasion was told to come back the next day. I returned the next day a Friday but once again they had forgot to ring the surgery so no meds again as I was going away for the weekend I couldn't return until the following Tuesday , yes my meds were ready but once again no apology was forth coming so that's when I decided that I wasn't prepared to continue to use this pharmacy. They do not provide the service that they are promoting and I wont shop there again
