Pharmacist Saray Mielgo and Pharmacy Manager Harrison Perrin will be well known to the area having run Woolacombe Pharmacy for the last six years as part of Barton Pharmacy.

Together with their team they hope to deliver an informed service, delivering high quality health care.

"We are excited to be part of the Ilfracombe community and look forward to serving their health care needs. Setting up an independent Pharmacy has been an exacting task which began over a year ago, at last we are in a position to open the doors. We have plans to extend our stock and services as SMD establishes its place within our community," said Harrison.

"We would like to thank everyone for their support in bringing our vision into a reality."
