Over the past three years, we’ve transformed Clive’s Chemist, “The Happy Chemist” into a future-focused pharmacy health hub, to deliver the best healthcare possible.
From expanding our dispensary to streamlining workflow, everything we’ve done has been about improving service quality and efficiency. This means less waiting time for you and more one-on-one time with our pharmacists.
At The Happy Chemist, our priority is improving your experience and making healthcare more accessible. With the health system under significant pressure, we’ve made some big changes to ensure you will always be seen, often right away, thanks to our dedicated Services Pharmacist and our newly enhanced environment.
Our freshly designed consulting rooms offer private spaces to discuss any health concerns and with more staff on hand, you’ll notice a calmer, more relaxed atmosphere. With our clinical skills, we can help ease the pressure on the GPs, while helping you get the care you need.
