What's in a name?
Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and was a Persian philosopher, physician, and polymath, born in the year 980. He was regarded as one of the greatest physicians and writers of his time and the father of early modern medicine.
His most famous works are The Book of Healing, a philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and The Canon of Medicine, which became a standard medical text across the world for many centuries. It remained in use until as late as 1650 and was still being printed as recently as 1973. His forward thinking, compassionate outlook is something we take inspiration from and we hope that these values filter through to the top-quality service that we offer our customers today.
Our Roots
Although many of our pharmacies date back over a hundred years, Avicenna was formed as a collective in 1992. It has now grown to include 135 of our own managed stores and a network of support to over 1000 independently owned pharmacies across the country.
Our pharmacies dispense far more than just medicines. It is not unusual for our staff to know customers by name and for them to go out of their way to help them. We help not just with medicines but with health and lifestyle advice, always being there to support those with acute or long-term conditions alike.
Our Guiding Values
Fanatical About Local – One size does not fit all. We insist on seeking out what makes each community unique to meet their needs
Customers First –We will go out of our way to make our customers happy
Technology Empowered – We will drive progressive technological solutions
Green – We are environmentally committed and strive to protect the environment
Charities
In June 2020, as the country emerged from Coronavirus lockdown, demand for mental health support was at a high. Unfortunately, many sources of charity funding had all but ground to a halt. To help, Avicenna partnered with Mind to create our Moving Miles for Mind fundraising campaign.
Amazingly, the team smashed our collective goal, clocking up over 15,000 miles of running, walking and cycling and meeting our target of raising £10,000 to help those most in need of help.

Our Clients Testimonials
Rob Waite2024-07-02Always very attentiveOliver Hammond2023-11-08Title: Exceptional Service and Unparalleled Promptness at Avicenna Pharmacy Review: From the moment I walked into Avicenna Pharmacy, I was greeted with a warmth that is increasingly rare in customer service today. The ambiance of the pharmacy set a tranquil tone, with its well-organized shelves and the subtle scent of cleanliness in the air. Amidst this setting, Zo stood out as the epitome of professionalism and care. As someone who relies on timely medication, the anxiety of waiting for a prescription can be overwhelming. Zo, with a reassuring smile, understood the urgency of my needs without me having to express it in so many words. It was evident that Zo had a deep understanding of the pharmacy’s inventory and systems, as my prescription was processed with a speed that I had never before experienced. Not only was Zo quick to assist, but also meticulous in ensuring that every detail of my medication was explained to me. The dosage instructions were made clear, and potential side effects were communicated in a way that was easy to understand, without causing alarm. Zo’s expertise was apparent, providing me with confidence in the care I was receiving. Moreover, Zo’s willingness to go above and beyond did not stop at the pharmacy counter. I was informed of the various programs the pharmacy offered that could aid in managing my health more effectively. It was refreshing to encounter someone who did not rush through their interactions with customers, despite the evident busyness of the location. In conclusion, my experience at Avicenna Pharmacy, particularly due to Zo’s exceptional service, has been nothing short of outstanding. The promptness with which my medication was handled not only alleviated my stress but also left me with a profound sense of gratitude. I wholeheartedly recommend this pharmacy to anyone who values efficiency, expertise, and a genuinely caring approach to health services.
