Advised to use this local Pharmacy by the Nurse at my GP Practice, for vaccinations in preparation for a trip to Uzbekistan. I can't fault my experience. Best of all was the skill in issuing vaccine painlessly. I barely knew it had been done. The Pharmacist was informative and helpful ...

Pharmacist was super helpful in assisting me to get my script after gp sent it to online pharmacy by mistake, he even processed the script and waited for me to come collect. I am very greatful. Super service can highly recommend.

Both my husband and I visit Ryders Chemist for our vaccinations because, unlike our doctor, they do both Covid and flu vaccinations. They are so lovely and helpful, pleasant and courteous. I wish that the gentleman attending to us was our GP! We would highly recommend anyone to go there ...

Simply excellent service. Great service on vaccinations at the start of 2024 ahead of New Zealand and Australia, then the final booster in February 2025. Friendly, knowledgeable service from Farakh, who is the centre of excellence in the pharmacy. The developing vaccination service is a great asset to the area.
