Topic : Rowlands Pharmacy - change for the worse |
|
| Jolly Bob |
For the 2nd time this year, this pharmacy has failed to fulfill my prescription. There were no records apparently, to show the shortfall. This is just not good enough Since the pharmacy changed a few months since I have noticed changes which I do not like, namely the layout, the service and shortfalls. Where have all the original very hepful staff gone? I was told told that all the original staff have left of there own accord??????? It seems that every time I go in , the staff is different. Does anybody know what is going on?? I have now reluctantly changed my pharmacy I understand that I am not alone in my concerns |

Agreed. Several bad experiences over the last month. Contacted Rowlands complaints department via their website site last week. Still waiting for a reply. I am too in the process of changing pharmacies. |

I have emailed Rowlands three times in the past. The first two were to tell them how excellent the staff were in the pharmacy.I think the service they supplied in the past was way above expectation. I was prescribed two lots of meds and,although I didn’t have my scripts delivered,they delivered them because of the nature of the meds. Now as the OP says,what a difference. The lovely,helpful staff have gone and if you see the same person twice you’ll be lucky. I,too,have changed pharmacy,I believed that by being loyal to my usual pharmacy I would maybe help yet another shop in the village stay afloat - but if this is the way it’s going to continue then it’s downhill all the way. The third email I sent was to say exactly what I’ve written above - the old shop with its original excellent staff is a real loss to the village. |

jj126 ,I too stayed faithful to the little one opposite the beck. Always really helpful staff,happy to help all these years. Sorry to see that one close 😕 Doesn't seem to be any stock in this other one,not at all the same service. I didn't want to jump ship whilst staff from the other we're still there....Wonder how much longer it will be there, thinking they might be running it down....!! Perhaps the big boys at the HC Pharmacy have won this one, sad to say...!!!! |

Mayflower - I rarely used the little one so can’t really comment on that one. One of my friends was more or less ignored when she went in the updated one the other week,bad customer service.i think we did well to stay loyal,let’s face it,the opening hours and the parking at the health centre are better,you would think Rowlands would make more effort considering the opposition. |

The free delivery service from the one at the surgery is excellent, makes my life so much easier, and such nice men. |

Having made a complaint to the head office of Rowlands Pharmacy on the 29th June about the standard of service I got the following response on the 17th August: 'Re: Customer Complaint, Rowlands Pharmacy, MITCHELLS SILSDEN 1305 Our Ref: 999608 I am writing in response to the concern you have raised regarding the service received from the above branch. Firstly, I would like to apologise for the unsatisfactory service you received and the delay in our response to your concerns. However we treat all customer complaints as a matter of concern and understand the impact the decline in service is having upon our patients and the wider community. We are aware that this pharmacy is experiencing operational difficulties at the moment. Weekly tactical senior management meetings have been ongoing and will continue in order to identify solutions and improvement action plans for these branches. Head office and field teams are working together on these improvement action plans which will then be reviewed on an ongoing basis until sufficient improvement has been made. Resources are being prioritised to support the branches in need wherever possible to maintain the service levels. We are sincerely sorry to have let you down on this occasion, however please be assured that resolving the difficulties at the pharmacy and restoring the levels of service to previous high standards is a priority to us and we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. Finally providing a high level of customer service to our patients is extremely important to us at Rowlands and I am very disappointed that we have let you down on this occasion. I would like to thank you for taking the time to report this to us and can assure you that the implementation of the above will be regularly monitored by the area manager. Should you wish to discuss this case with someone else outside the company you are entitled to contact the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.' Anyone notice any improvements? |

I do - always used this place since I was a child. But it seems all the staff that were any good are no-longer there. Don't like the one at the doctors so it looks like I'll have to figure something else out..... |
