About This Clinic

Pharmacy Direct is a community pharmacy group established in 1986 by pharmacist Arun Sharma. Operating six branches across Southampton, Totton, West Wellow, and surrounding areas, the group offers a comprehensive range of pharmacy services for both NHS and private patients. Their services include one-off and repeat prescriptions, private prescriptions, and specialized treatments such as vaccinations (including travel vaccines), blood pressure checks, and a contraception service. The clinics are equipped to handle minor ailments like ear infections, sinusitis, and UTIs through a “Pharmacy First” service, allowing patients to receive treatment directly from their local pharmacist without a GP appointment. Patients benefit from an online ordering system available via smartphone, tablet, or PC, with additional features such as prescription re-order reminders, free prescription delivery using eco-friendly vehicles, and an option for in-store collection. Each branch maintains its own opening hours, detailed on the branches page, ensuring accessible and convenient service. The head office is located at 108 Portswood Road, Southampton, Hampshire, SO17 2FW, serving as the central point for this well-established, privately owned group of community pharmacies.
