A huge thank you to our staff giving their bank holiday up and time with their families today and Easter Monday. They are working to keep your pharmacy service going and keeping you safe.

All our branches are open 2pm to 5pm Good Friday and Bank holiday Monday. Balby branch will be open from 10am to 5pm. Please only come into the branch if it is absolutely necessary and perhaps call first as we can deal with many queries over the phone. Please respect our staff who are once again giving up valuable time with their families and putting themselves at risk, to ensure you get the care you need. Thank you

Recently there was a post on Facebook from a concerned relative about medication being delivered out of the trays and in original packs. In the comment section of this post McGill pharmacy were named as the supplier. This prompted us to start an investigation. Upon this investigation it became very clear that in fact the relative had got the wrong pharmacy company.

We can confirm that in line with NHS England and the pharmacy governing body we will be supplying medication in original packs for some monitored dosage customers while we are in the middle of this pandemic. Please be assured any customers affected will be contacted first to gain their consent. We will in no way be supplying original packs to customers who feel they cannot cope with boxes, and put them at risk.

Any questions please contact the pharmacy team in your local branch.

Emergency Measures

We are currently under considerable pressure because of increased workload at this difficult time.
We will be operating a “closed-door” policy for the first and last hour of our normal business opening times in all pharmacies.
The same policy will operate between 1 pm and 2 pm at branches except for our Express Pharmacy at the Scott Practice where the closed door policy will be between 1.30 pm and 3.30 pm.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused and will resume normal hours as soon as the situation permits.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

We are doing our very best to meet your needs during this difficult period.

You will be aware that our teams of staff are working under sustained pressure and the need for accuracy when dispensing medicines is critical.

To give our team an adequate rest period so they can remain alert we will be making some temporary changes to our opening hours;

We will have a “closed-door” policy for the first and last hour of our normal business opening times other than our Express store where this time will be adjusted:

09:00-10:00 (08:00 – 08:30 at our Express store)

Last Hour (other than our Express store)


We will close during the lunch period. Times for this may vary by location as advertised on our door but will be around 13:00 to 14:00 (13:30 to 15:30 at our Express store)

We will not be open for prescription collections during these periods, this is so we can process prescriptions for collection later and clean the environment to protect staff and patients. Please do not telephone between these times unless your call is an emergency.

We ask that you respect a 2m area around our till areas in our branches to isolate our staff to protect them from possible infection.

We ask that you stand behind our barrier area until the counter is free.

Staff shortages from illness will lead to unplanned pharmacy closures, we hope to avoid this by protecting our colleagues so they can continue to serve your healthcare needs. If a pharmacy is closed, we will signpost you to the nearest open branch.

We sincerely thank you for your understanding and patience.

If you are self-isolating and cannot collect your prescription, as advised by NHS England, please arrange for a member of your family or a friend / carer to collect your prescription. Our delivery service is at capacity and we are restricting demand on this service to ensure elderly / frail patients are prioritised.

We hope you stay well. You can find the latest COVID-19 advice and guidance at

NHS advice about coronavirus (COVID-19), including what to do if you think you have it and how to reduce your chances of getting it.
