About Chapel Pharmacy

About Chapel Pharmacy

Chapel Pharmacy has looked after Farnborough families for more than 30 years. We are independently owned, not part of a chain, and the same faces are here week after week.

30 Years in Farnborough, Hampshire

Chapel Lane has changed a good deal since this pharmacy opened. Families have grown up here, new homes have gone in around Cove and Southwood, and the pressure on local GP appointments has risen sharply.

Through all of it, we have stayed in the same place doing the same job. We know which patients need their blister packs ready on a Friday, and which ones would rather talk in a private room than at the counter.

That history is the reason we became a clinical service pharmacy rather than a dispensing shop. Patients told us they could not get seen quickly, so we trained and equipped ourselves to see them.

Mission & Vision

Our Mission

Our Mission

To be Farnborough’s trusted local healthcare destination, helping people resolve everyday health concerns quickly, safely and conveniently.

Our Vision

To be the first place people in Farnborough think of for health advice, whether that is an NHS prescription, a travel vaccine before a family holiday, or a skin lesion somebody wants checked.

We want to keep widening what a high street pharmacy can safely deliver, backed by prescribers, proper equipment and private consulting space.

How It Works

How Our Services Work

[Step 01]

Book online or walk in

Most services are available both ways. Booking through Simplybook holds a protected slot, which is worth doing for travel, aesthetics, cryotherapy and weight loss appointments.

[Step 02]

Talk it through in private

You will be seen in one of our three consulting rooms. The pharmacist will ask about your symptoms, your medical history and any medicines you already take.

[Step 03]

Get assessed and treated

Where treatment is appropriate, our prescribers can supply it there and then. For travel, we build a vaccination schedule around your destinations and your departure date.

Brains Behind

Our Team at Chapel Pharmacy

Our team is three full-time pharmacists and three qualified pharmacy technicians. That staffing level is what lets one pharmacist sit in a consulting room while the dispensary keeps moving.

Why Choose Us

Why Patients Choose Us in Farnborough

Prescriber-led care

Two of our pharmacists are independent prescribers. Chest infections, ear infections, acne and rosacea can often be assessed and treated on the day you walk in.

Yellow Fever centre

A dedicated Travel Clinic runs from our premises. As a registered Yellow Fever centre, we can vaccinate and issue your certificate without sending you to another town.

Services you rarely find on a high street

Cryotherapy for skin lesions, an aesthetics clinic and a prescriber led weight loss service sit alongside NHS dispensing, so most health needs are handled in one building.

Three consulting rooms

Private space is never the bottleneck here. Booking through Simplybook gives you a set time, so nobody queues at a counter with a sensitive question.

A 4.9 out of 5 Google rating

Those reviews come from local patients over years of prescriptions, vaccinations and consultations. The recurring themes are short waits and staff who remember them.

Easy to reach, easy to get into

Parking is free on site and a bus stop is right outside the door. The pharmacy is wheelchair accessible, with step-free access through to the consulting rooms.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?

Both work. Pharmacy First, blood pressure checks, contraception and the prescriber clinic take walk-ins whenever a pharmacist is free. Travel, aesthetics, cryotherapy and weight loss appointments should be booked in advance.

Monday to Friday we open 09:00 to 18:00, closing 13:00 to 14:00 for lunch. Saturday we open 09:00 to 16:00. We are closed on Sundays.

Yes, in the right circumstances. Our independent prescribers assess you privately and prescribe where it is clinically appropriate. If antibiotics are not the right answer, we will explain why and what to do instead.

Yes. We are a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre through Our Travel Clinic on site. Stamaril is £80 as a single dose, and your certificate is issued the same day.

Six to eight weeks before you fly is ideal, because several courses need more than one dose. Last minute travellers are still worth seeing, since partial protection beats none at all.

Most people feel a short sting and little else. One session is usually enough, and any follow-up is spaced at least four weeks later to let the skin settle.

No. Every appointment starts with a consultation and suitability assessment, and anti-wrinkle treatment depends on an individual prescribing decision. Treatment is for adults aged 18 and over, and results vary between patients.

Not at the moment. Order your repeat through your GP surgery or the NHS App, then nominate Chapel Pharmacy as your dispensing pharmacy and collect it here.

Yes, parking on site is free. There is also a bus stop immediately outside, and the premises are wheelchair accessible.
