Med Chem I wouldn't recommend. I use Mintons Chemist in Turnpike Lane who are fantastic.

Agree with Anna. Mintons are very helpful and it is a pleasant change from the anonymity of bustling Wood Green to be treated as a person by friendly people.

It's not the nearest to me but I usually go to Parade chemists on Green Lanes, in between Kimberley and Chesterfield Gardens (v handy for Cafe Lemon!). Nice staff, always very helpful.

For reasons completely unrelated to medicine have decided not to use Med Chem...

Parade are excellent as well but unfortunately don't have the Minor Ailment Scheme which Mintonts does.

Many thanks for all your replies. I may give mintons a try as theyve always given me excellent advice in the past.

Ram Pharmacy on West Green Rd, at the top of Black Boy Lane.  They're v nice & helpful; & from I think December you can sign up on a new scheme where you tell them you need the repeat & they get it for you.

Unfortunately i the original pharmcist hasnt been there for some time and they dont always contact me when my prescription is ready -I have 6 items on repeat. Customer service now isnt that great either. There used to be some v.helpful female assistants but ive not seen them in the shop for quite some time now.
