As an international student, I'm not too familiar with the NHS system, as a result I was misadvised by the pharmacist on duty that day, resulting in a fine which I had to pay, which was disappointing as one would expect the pharmacist to be more well versed with how things work. A heads up for future patients your prescription paper is a legal document according to the system and you are solely responsible for whatever outcome even if you were given false advice.
The staff I have encountered have been quite rude, they were either in a hurry to get me out of there, talking bad about customers/patients behind the desk thinking I can't hear them, and giving contradictory advice to my doctor's recommendation(which made it confusing).
I know pharmacist work hard in such a demanding system, it's not always easy to meet everyone's expectations, but I don't believe that's an excuse to be less than a decent person, and if you do encounter a good pharmacist here good for you. But personally I felt let down by people which I hoped would be a source of help in receiving medical care.
