About us
Bear Flat's independently-owned pharmacy
The same trusted pharmacy, with a fresh pair of hands behind the counter.
Our story
A familiar face on Hayes Place
Wellsway Pharmacy has been part of Bear Flat for years, a familiar face on Hayes Place, trusted by the people who live and work here. We've taken on that responsibility with care, and we're committed to keeping everything that works while quietly improving what we can.
As an independent Bath pharmacy, we're free to make our own decisions about how we serve patients. That independence shows up in small ways: the time the pharmacist takes to explain something, whether your preferred generic is in stock, how quickly a query gets back to you. It's the difference between being a number on a quota and being remembered.
Specialist service
Care home dispensing
We provide a dedicated dispensing service for care homes across Bath. Medication is checked, packed, and delivered on schedule, with direct communication between our pharmacist and care home staff to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
What we believe
Our values
Your prescriptions belong to you
We'll never pressure you to stay. If you want to transfer your prescriptions elsewhere, we'll help you do it. No questions, no hard sell.
Access without barriers
Walk in and talk to our pharmacist. No appointment, no referral, no waiting list. That's what a community pharmacy should be.
Part of Bear Flat
We're not a chain. We're your neighbours. The decisions about this pharmacy are made here, by the people who work here.
