About Us

As a community pharmacy, Chimsons Chemist is a vital and trusted part of the NHS. We thrive on our expertise, our experience, and the invaluable human connection we have with the communities. We are fully integrated within local primary care networks, doing more to protect public health and taking on an expanded role in urgent care and medicines safety, to deliver integrated and accessible community health services for all and to help people live happier, healthier lives for longer.

The traditional role of the community pharmacist as the healthcare professional who dispenses prescriptions written by doctors has changed. We at Chimsons Chemist as community pharmacists have been developing clinical services in addition to the traditional dispensing role to allow better integration and work with the rest of the NHS.

We are proactively delivering a wide range of interventions in the community to support people’s health and well-being. We have trained health champions in place to deliver interventions on key issues such as smoking and weight management as well as providing wellbeing and self-care advice, and signposting people to other relevant services. 

Chimsons Chemist is consequently a socially inclusive healthcare service providing a convenient and less formal environment for those who cannot easily access or do not choose to access other kinds of health services. 

Chimsons Chemist, in the wider health care system, has a positive impact on patient choice and results in better health outcomes for people in both primary care and the community. Our healthcare interventions help to improve people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing which are usually delivered as the opportunity arises – when people come in for prescriptions, buy other products or make general enquiries. Our staff are qualified/specialists and can be a fully trusted source of health and wellbeing advice and support.
