Redefining Pharmacy Care in Blackpool
About Blackpool Express Chemist
Dedicated pharmacists and healthcare professionals who are committed to prioritising you with personalised care and reliable services that put you first.
Who We Are
We are your local, independent pharmacy in Blackpool, committed to providing a pharmacy service that truly cares.
Opening our doors in August 2023, we founded Blackpool Express on the idea that healthcare shouldn’t be transactional or feel rushed. It should be personal, compassionate, and tailored to you.
Every person who walks through our doors is a patient, not a number.
- Your prescriptions, ready when you need them.
- Clear communication, every step of the way
- Personalised care from a team that puts you first.
Focusing On What Truly Matters
Before we took over this pharmacy was run by another company, and the experience was far from ideal.
We listened to the community, and what we heard was disheartening—delayed prescriptions, poor customer service, and a sense that no one really cared.
We opened our doors because we believed Blackpool deserved better. We’ve made it our mission to change how people experience pharmacy care.
No more waiting around, no more missed medications—just a service that works for you, when you need it.
Our Values
Customer-Centered Care: You’re at the heart of everything we do. We take the time to understand your needs and ensure every interaction is a positive one.
Speed and Efficiency: We know your time is valuable. That’s why we’ve streamlined our processes to get you your medication quickly and without hassle.
Attention to Detail: From checking your prescriptions thoroughly to offering guidance on your medication, we’re here to ensure nothing is missed.
Compassion: Pharmacy is more than just handing over medicine. It’s about listening, caring, and making sure you feel supported at every step of your health journey.

Imran Ali
Lead Pharmacist
Hello, I’m Imran, a dedicated pharmacist with nine years of diverse and comprehensive experience in the pharmaceutical field. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed some of the busiest community pharmacies in the North West of the UK, worked extensively as a locum pharmacist, and acquired substantial experience in hospital pharmacy settings. My expertise extends to specialized services, including ear wax removal and travel vaccinations consultancy.
My primary goal is to ensure that the community I serve receives the highest standard of care. I have witnessed firsthand the numerous challenges patients encounter in accessing quality healthcare, from long wait times to insufficient medical advice. These experiences have fueled my commitment to reversing these trends by providing efficient, empathetic, and comprehensive healthcare solutions. I believe that being a pharmacist is not just about dispensing medications; it’s about being a trusted healthcare advisor and advocate for my patients’ well-being.
In addition to my professional pursuits, I am deeply committed to personal health and fitness. I am an avid football player, a regular gym-goer, and find great joy in gardening. These activities not only keep me physically active but also help me maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle, which I believe is crucial in providing the best care to my patients.
