About Us

Meet Your Pharmacist Sukhy Uppal

Hi, I’m Sukhy (short for Sukhpreet) and I’m the pharmacist and owner here at Sidley Pharmacy.

I’ve been a qualified pharmacist for nearly ten years, and I still love what I do. I’ve always had a natural interest in science and how the body works — it fascinates me. Most of all, I’m drawn to helping people live healthier lives. For me, pharmacy isn’t just about dispensing medicine; it’s about working with people to improve their health, confidence, and overall quality of life.

We are incredibly proud that our team recently won Community Pharmacy Team of the Year. It’s a reflection of how hard everyone here works, I’m incredibly proud of the achievement and I hope that it reflects how much we really do care about doing things right.

Why choose us here at Sidley Pharmacy?

I officially took over the pharmacy in June 2023 (time flies!). I hadn’t moved far — I’d been working in the Bexhill area as a locum, where I met many of our local customers. There’s something very special about this community. You can feel how connected people are; it’s a place where everyone knows each other, and I knew it was somewhere I could really make a difference.

Being at Sidley Pharmacy has given me the chance to build something that reflects my core values:

A place that is friendly and consistently reliable
A pharmacy that is genuinely committed to the people it serves

Always Looking Ahead

Outside the pharmacy, I sit on the Surrey and Sussex local pharmacy committee, where I work to make sure community pharmacy continues to have a strong voice. I believe pharmacies are the backbone of local healthcare in our communities and must be accessible, approachable, and trusted.

At Sidley Pharmacy, we’re not going anywhere. We’re here for the long haul – growing, improving every day, and doing everything we can to become your go-to place for healthcare and advice.

If you’ve not been in before, pop by and say hello, we’re always here to welcome you and if there’s a service you think we should offer, please let me know. This pharmacy is here to serve you and be shaped by you.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
