ABOUT US

St Helens Pharmacy Group was established in St Helens, Merseyside in 2012. The group started out as a single pharmacy in St Helens town centre and has grown to 20 branches in the present day. Each of which has a mission statement to become a centre of exemplary patient care for the local community they serve. 

​

As the company has grown over time through mergers and acquisition there has also been an addition of our Head Office facility, and our GPhC Registered Pharmacy Hub acting as a central point for the inner workings of the group.
