About us
A community pharmacy in Northampton that feels like a neighbour.
Chemist Near Me is an independent community pharmacy group serving Northampton, combining trusted local care with easier access to prescriptions, NHS and private health services, and everyday health and wellbeing support. Real people, local branches and care that stays personal, whether you visit us in store or manage your healthcare online.
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 lead by GPhC-registered pharmacy professionals who share the same commitment to safe, personal and professional care. Across all four Northampton locations, our teams work to consistent standards of practice, patient safety and accountability, while taking the time to listen, answer questions and help you feel confident in the care you receive.
Trust is not a campaign. It is a thousand small moments at the counter, each one done right.
