About us
A pharmacy that feels like a neighbour.
We are an independent, GPhC-registered community pharmacy group, run by people who live in the same streets we serve. No call centres, no scripts, no anonymous chains. Just a team that knows your name and looks after your health like it matters, because to us it does.
Chemist Near Me opened its first branch in Northampton in 2023, founded by Sagar Shah, a pharmacist with over a decade in the field and deep roots in the community. What started as one branch serving a few hundred patients has grown into four across the town, caring for tens of thousands of people across Northamptonshire every month.

Our story
It began with one counter, and a promise.
In 2023 Sagar, our founder, a pharmacist with more than a decade behind the counter, opened a single neighbourhood branch in Northampton. The idea was simple. Be the pharmacy you would want for your own family, the one that answers on the second ring, remembers your repeat prescription, and never makes you feel like a number on a ticket.
Word spread the way it always does in Northampton, one good visit at a time. Within two years that one counter had become four branches across the town, together caring for tens of thousands of people every month. The size changed. The promise did not.
What we stand for
Setting the standard for community pharmacy
Every branch operates under NHS standards of care and under our own. These are the four things we will not compromise on, no matter how busy the day gets.
Professionalism
GPhC-registered pharmacists, NHS-grade clinical standards, and decisions you are always free to question and understand. Good pharmacy is earned, every single day.
Integrity
Honest advice, including telling you when you don't need something. We would rather lose a sale than lose your trust, for us, trust is the only thing that brings you back.
Compassion
Time to listen; all judgement is left firmly at the door. Health is personal and often frightening, so we treat every conversation with the patience it deserves.
Respect
Every patient, every background and every age is welcomed and spoken to like an adult. Your health is your business; we're just here to help you make sense of it.
Delivery, wherever you are
Meet the team
Led by a pharmacist,
accountable to you.
Every Chemist Near Me branch is led by GPhC-registered pharmacists and operates to a consistent clinical standard across all four locations. We are committed to maintaining high standards of professional practice, patient safety and accountability across every aspect of the care and advice we provide.
Trust is not a campaign. It is a thousand small moments at the counter, each one done right.
Our branches
Several doors, one standard of care.
You will find our pharmacies across Northampton, each sharing the same systems and the same team values. Wherever you walk in, we can see your record, so the people behind the counter already know your history and can pick up exactly where your last visit left off. Same care, same standards, just a little closer to home.
Our promise
What you can count on, every visit.
We answer the phone, and a real person from your branch picks up during opening hours.
We contact your surgery to request your repeat prescriptions, so your medicines are ready when you need them.
We deliver your prescription free - 48hr tracked across Northampton and the surrounding areas, free anywhere in the UK and walk it round ourselves when the van is full.
Make the switch
Come and meet your new pharmacy.
Switching to Chemist Near Me takes one short conversation. Book a consultation, or just call your nearest branch, and we will handle the rest, including moving your nominated pharmacy across.
