Since owner Michael White took the reins just over twelve months ago, the community pharmacy has become firmly embedded in Morpeth village life and the health and well-being of its residents.

Testament to the pharmacy's success, staff numbers have swelled over the last year, with the team growing from three to seven.

"I would like to sincerely thank the community for the overwhelming support we have been given during the last year, we really do love this community," said Michael White.

Much of Michael and his team's ethos is around good old fashioned care and service and has undoubtedly been one of the reasons the business has been so warmly welcomed in Morpeth.

"We are a a family run business that prides ourselves on greeting all our customers by name whilst taking care of their health needs.

"Our service is extremely efficient with most patients waiting less than five minutes for prescriptions

While efficiency is key, Michael says that care is a priority and customers are given the time they need when necessary.

"An extensive consult is always provided if it's needed."

The Swan Street pharmacy is open from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday and on Saturdays from 9am to 4pm.

Free deliveries are also available upon request.
