The pharmacy was originally opened in the mid-1960’s by a Mr Winslow,and then purchased by Sandy Black in the mid-late 1970’s. He was succeeded by Iain Allan the current owner who purchased the pharmacy in November 1991.
We are situated in Muirhouse and this area underwent a major renovation in 1996. We moved to our current premises in January 2007 which provided modern premises along with plenty of free parking and easy access from the main artery Shields Road. Much new building of private and council homes followed and now the area is thriving again!
We pride ourselves on a fast and efficient service and with being here for so long, we have a personal knowledge of many of our patients. We can remember many of their parents and grandparents! We have a very low turnover of staff and we believe this helps to foster relationships with customers and loyalty.
We are only a mile away from the nearest surgery and we collect daily from surgeries in Motherwell and Wishaw. We also operate an ordering service as well to assist patients.
We value your trust in our Pharmacy as leading healthcare providers within the community. From senior Pharmacists to counter staff, we are all aware of just how important your faith in our people is when we are are entrusted with your private and sometimes sensitive medical information.
You can be assured that you can talk to any member of the Pharmacy team in total confidence and that they will act in your best interests with sensitivity and discretion at all times.
The relationship between our customers and staff is a core foundation upon which our business success has been built on.
Remember our healthcare professionals are here to help and provide confidential healthcare advice. So whatever your needs … we would love to see you in person or talk to you by phone to answer any question you may have
