About Hawthorn
14 years caring for the families of Church Lane
A small, independent pharmacy on a quiet Bristol street, owned by Hawthorn Health Ltd and led by Priya Sharma MRPharmS.
Our story
Hawthorn opened with one simple idea: that your local pharmacy should feel like part of the community, not a queue. We took over a tired shop unit on Church Lane and rebuilt it around a proper consultation room, generous shelves and a kettle that's almost always on.
More than a decade on, we're still independent and still family-feeling. We dispense NHS prescriptions, run flu and COVID clinics, support people through stopping smoking, and offer same-day consultations under Pharmacy First, all from the same shop, with the same team.
Most of our patients live within a ten-minute walk on Whiteladies Road, Cotham, or Redland, and we also deliver around the neighbourhood.
