“Wouldn’t it be dreadful to live in a country where they didn’t have tea?”

― Sir Noël Coward 1899 – 1973

“and waiting times kept getting worse?”

– PersonalChemist -2022

You can say it all started 8 years ago when I published the only patient guide to Pharmacy in the UK. Being a Pharmacist or Chemist is a very satisfying profession. I spend my days finding solutions for others – makes a good life, I think anyway.

I am still striving to improve greater health for Patients. In 2013 my findings showed me an “information hole” which I filled by writing the aforementioned guide.

Over the years, other ideas led me to different conclusions, but none I could definitely say would improve your health over and above taking medicines. Using some mathematics for the last 2 years, I now conclude that the first step you take in any health issue is one of the most important factors, which can improve your health. If you take a step in the wrong direction, your waiting time can increase.

So, what Sir Noël would make of waiting time if he was growing old now? What about our overall health as a nation? Around 75% of 45-74 year are overweight if not obese, 50% of over 50 years suffer mental health issues, what joy could tea hold if god forbid, dementia makes it impossible to recall childhood memories?

I am not bright enough to stop the arrow of time, for now, you and I will get old – but I am young with plenty of tea to help everyone reduce the anxiety and physical pain that comes with waiting to find the solution.

All else being equal, the ability to receive the right health information is the most important factor in deciding the outcome of our health issues. UK has the best healthcare professionals – and of course, I am biased. However, the challenge for my generation is to get the right healthcare at the right time or in other words reduce the waiting time.

Imagine if we reduce the waiting time by 50%, not only we will create a healthier society, happier people and eventually UK productivity can increase. I am certain, that with my appropriate qualifications, experience, capacity and capability in the healthcare profession – I can certainly solve some of them for you.

PersonalChemist.com is not just a website, it’s the manifestation of this effort and that’s why I am your Personal Chemist. I am hugely helped by great people and together we welcome you.

Perhaps, or passionate? either way, it’s still true – I am a Pharmacist who wants to reduce the waiting time.

Do you have any experience?

Whats up with the white coat?

It’s not necessary any more as we hardly prepare anything in a pharmacy these days.

Are you like a high street chemist?

Yes, only we do not give out physical medicine or sell anything. We provide on-the-spot answers to your health issues so you do not waste time or make any wrong choices. We definitely do not want to leave you to guess work.

Are you better than the high street chemist?

No, all Chemists/Pharmacists go through the same rigorous training and standards. We all follow the exact framework and knowledge base. Although individual experience and speciality can set us apart.

So whats the point of coming to you?

Because most people who come to our physical Pharmacy seeking diagnosis ends up being redirected either to GP, A&E, they purchase some medicine, or they simply need to rest and relax. I want to make sure none of you has to leave home in the first instance and if you do have to leave then you go straight to where you should be going.

Here’s a question, if you must see a GP then what’s the point of coming to my pharmacy on high street?
Secondly, if I was to send you to A&E then why did you spend 30 minutes with me, you could have gone straight to A&E?
And of course, the person who should have come to me, what are they doing in A&E?

Until now you didn’t have this option, and now you do- so does your entire family :)

I am your Chemist, if I must do one thing then it is to reduce your time spent in the healthcare system.

Is your job easy?

You couldn’t do it just for money.

Do you have bad days?

Yes, but none memorable.

You will be helping patients

Most patients and their most day-to-day needs in Primary Care and we can also help achieve Secondary Care goals for suitable patients.

And also stopping people from becoming patients in the long run.

Patient age matters?

No, generally speaking, it does not. In some cases it might matter for the individual patient but we could not tell you about a specific case until you ask us.

Why are my prescriptions never available?

Firstly, ask your GP for NHS-eRD using our Free-Template
Secondly, ask your medicine supplying Pharmacy to keep medicines in stock for you.

Lastly, we are working hard to develop your ideal Pharmacy, click here and tell us what you want from your ideal pharmacy

How many cups of tea you have in a day?

Not enough but without sugar.

It took 7 months of painful hard work to reduce my sugar levels to zero. Glad, I did it.
So, I know it’s not easy but I will help you reduce your sugar in-take.

Which football team do you support?

Too embarrassing to admit.

Will Brexit affect the cost of medicine?

My personal view is that any effect will be sustainable.
I am confident the level of care from healthcare professionals all over the UK will only improve with time.

Can I join your team?

Yes, you can contribute with your skills.
