About the Employer

Vantage Pharmacy Manor Top is an independent pharmacy whose sole Director Tina Cooke has owned the pharmacy since 1989. Tina is very committed to providing excellent patient care and expansion of the role of community pharmacy. The pharmacy currently employs approximately 22 staff who all work very hard to serve the local community. The staff are viewed both internally and externally by other healthcare professionals as being a close knit team working together to improve the healthcare of the local population. The team has always tailored its now called enhanced services to meet the needs of the local population. There are many long serving members of staff in the pharmacy who are well known, much loved and greatly trusted by the local population. Many of the staff go above and beyond the call of duty for individual patients needs. This is particularly borne out by the fact that many patients visit the pharmacy on a daily basis just to say hello or report on a recent illness or long term complaint. We pride ourselves knowing we have been recognised by the pharmaceutical industry, winning awards for our service to the local community and for the large range of services we provide.
