Local pharmacist buys West London pharmacy

RP Healthcare, a multi-operator, has sold Hammersmith pharmacy in West London to an independent pharmacist for an undisclosed amount.

“Mariam Moshref, owner of Fulham Pharmacy, together with her twin brothers, Arya and Jaan Moshref, purchased Hammersmith Pharmacy from Ravi Patel of RP Healthcare,” Christie and Co, who handled the sale, said in a statement.


This pharmacy operates during standard hours, handling an average of 5,920 items per month, the statement added. Refurbished in 2018, the pharmacy is located on Fulham Palace Road, W6, near Charing Cross Hospital and Hammersmith Underground station.

RP Healthcare placed the pharmacy on the market as a strategic move to divest from the area.

Meanwhile, the Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies recently urged all pharmacy organisations to unite in advocating for the sector, while emphasising the importance of a clear manifesto for presentation to the public, politicians, and decision-makers.
