Medichem Pharmacy

I have just been for my flu jab, which was booked via the app, over a week ago. I am immunosuppressed so, if I don't book it as soon as I am invited, I get constant reminders. When I arrived at this pharmacy today, well before my appointment time, the pharmacist invited me into the consultation room. She asked my age, then proceeded to tell me she can't give me my jab because she used the last one suitable for my age group to another patient, a few minutes earlier. What is the point on booking an appointment if the pharmacy aren't going to save enough for their prebooked patients? The pharmacist then tells me I will need to rebook but, despite her insisting that I wouldn't have any issue rebooking, the app won't let me rebook because the system now thinks I have already had it. I am now going to have to try to find time to ring my GP surgery Reception, who are only available when I am at work, to see if they will let me book it with them. I have just moved to Pontefract, but in previous years have had my flu jab at Excel Chemist in Normanton with no issues at all. This pharmacy is clearly not properly organised. I shall be booking my jabs elsewhere in future.

I have my prescription delivered and this is the last time they mess me about , it is over a week since it was ordered and I am still waiting for 4 parts of it : stomach tablets , peptic acid , folic acid and pain killers of which were promised 4/5 days ago... I have been out of stomach pills and the secondary pain killers for two days now.

The pharmacy staff have always been polite,friendly and helpful when answering my phone calls. They deliver my repeat prescriptions every month as soon as they have my medications. The delivery personnel are also polite,friendly and helpful. Aswel as been well dressed and professional. A great chemists. Recommend. This review is about Chequerfield Pharmacy Pontefract and NOT Medichem Pharmacy Pontefract.

Always such a friendly service from the staff and very well stocked with the basics. Mentioned a service that they can provide which means I don't need to go through my GP first, so helpful, thank you very much.

Can't thank Medichem pharmacy @ Pontefract enough!! The pharmacist is an absolute super star 🌟 such a genuine caring lady! Best chemist around all hardworking staff that can't do enough for you. Always put the patients first even in such a busy environment.
