Why your local pharmacy matters

Pharmacies like ours do more for the NHS than most people realise. Here’s the evidence — real figures, real sources, nothing made up.

Over 5 million

NHS Pharmacy First consultations across England between January 2024 and February 2025 — patients seen and treated by a pharmacist instead of waiting for a GP appointment.

9 million

GP appointments a year that Pharmacy First could free up in its current form — meaning shorter waits at the GP for everyone, not just the patients who use it.

610,000+

Prescribing errors caught and prevented by community pharmacies every year — saving the NHS more than £450 million annually.

That’s the difference pharmacies make across England. On Derby Road, it’s the same team behind our NHS Pharmacy First service, doing the same thing for Southport.

Be one of our first Google reviews

We’re a small independent team on Derby Road — not a national chain with a head office writing reviews on our behalf. That means every review on our Google listing will be from a real Southport patient, and right now, we’re just getting started.

If St Marks has looked after you — a Pharmacy First visit, ear wax removal, a prescription sorted quickly, anything at all — two minutes of your time would genuinely help. It shows other people in Southport what we’re really like, and it helps us grow as the independent pharmacy on Derby Road.
