About Us
Your Trusted Healthcare Partner in Oxfordshire
Our Story
Wheatley Pharmacy is long standing pharmacy established in 1992 with the vision of
becoming an integral part of the local community in Wheatley, Oxfordshire; providing
medicines and health advice to all. After years of hard work, investment in staff, and
services provided this has more than become a reality. A patient-centered approach and
excellent customer satisfaction have always been of huge importance to the business, and
now a first-class service to our customers is something which we are known for. Our
Pharmacy is also a certified Healthy Living Pharmacy.
As an independent community pharmacy, we have evolved from the historic role of a
traditional pharmacy that just dispenses medicines and sells over-the-counter products.
Wheatley Pharmacy offers you a host of services to help you avoid an often time-consuming
visit to the GP.
Our pharmacy is well equipped to provide health care services with a specially designed
consultation room and highly trained staff. This means you can enjoy quality health services
in a comfortable and private environment. Our private services are competitively priced and
most are available at short notice.
