Expertise that Speaks Volumes in Pharmacy Care
Pharmacist and owner Richard Neylon, hails from Loughrea, Co. Galway. Richard studied Pharmacy in Trinity College Dublin, obtaining his honours degree in 2009. After qualifying, he spent some time working in Dublin, around the Ballyfermot area before returning west. Since then, Richard has combined his love of Irish music with his profession. Richard spent time touring with various Irish bands and stage shows playing the uilleann pipes across Europe, the United States and further afield. A former All-Ireland champion, Richard’s passion for Irish music soon gave way to a full-time career in Pharmacy.
After spending many years working for and learning from Michael Whelan in Galway, Richard decided to venture out on his own, taking over what was previously the Matt O’Flaherty’s Chemist in Barna. Now known as Neylon’s Pharmacy, this is where Richard can be found most of the time, when he’s not at home helping to raise three young children with his wife Blathnaid.
“As a pharmacist, I am driven by a singular mission: to provide comprehensive care for all who walk through our doors at Neylon’s Pharmacy. Beyond simply dispensing medication, my role extends to being a trusted advisor, advocate, and ally in the pursuit of optimal health. From ensuring access to affordable medications to offering personalised consultations and education, I am committed to addressing the diverse needs of every individual who seeks our services.
Whether it’s a routine refill or a complex medication regimen, each interaction is imbued with empath, expertise, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve. By fostering a culture of compassion and inclusivity, I aim not only to treat ailments but to empower individuals to take control of their health and wellbeing.”
