Springs+ Drugstore Pharmacy

Springs+, Drugstore Pharmacy, Sliema is a pharmacy at Ponta ta' Dragut in Sliema, close to the point where the peninsula meets the sea. It is one of the seven pharmacies in the Springs+ chain and is notable for hosting an unusually wide roster of visiting doctors and specialists. Our directories of pharmacies in Malta and health centres in Malta both list it.

The pharmacy moved in early 2025 to a larger and more accessible location, which gave the team more space for its counter, products and clinic rooms. This page explains what to expect and how to reach it. It describes services only and is not medical advice.

A pharmacy with a long list of clinics

The branch's most distinctive feature is its clinic programme. Practitioners attached to the pharmacy cover a broad spread of fields: a urologist, an osteopath, several medical doctors, a paediatrician, a specialist in family medicine, a doctor with a special interest in ear, nose and throat problems, a sports and exercise medicine specialist, a doctor in family and occupational medicine, a GP with a lifestyle medicine focus, a psychiatrist, a dermatologist, two podiatrists, a gestalt psychotherapist and a mindfulness and stress management trainer.

For UK residents who have settled in Malta, or for a visitor who wants to see a specialist privately without leaving Sliema, this concentration of professionals is a real convenience. Appointments are arranged through the pharmacy, and the availability of each practitioner varies, so ask which clinics are running before you plan a visit. If your query is more about eating habits than medical care, the directory lists A New Better Life as a nutritionist.

Health services across the Springs+ group

The group's pharmacies offer a set of services that most branches provide. Blood pressure monitoring, blood glucose monitoring and urinalysis need no appointment, and results come within minutes. Urine pregnancy tests are available over the counter, and the pharmacist can talk you through using one. A smoking cessation service provides advice and nicotine replacement in the form of patches, gum and sprays.

Beyond those basics the group promotes lifestyle medicine consultations, osteopathy with myofascial release, cupping and medical acupuncture, a one-to-one baby sleep workshop for expectant parents and speech and language therapy for children and adults. An audiology clinic and a travel health advice clinic with vaccinations are held at the San Ġwann branch rather than in Sliema. If you are relocating to Malta, you may also want to know that every Springs+ pharmacy takes part in the Pharmacy of Your Choice scheme, through which eligible patients receive free medicines for long-term conditions from the pharmacy they register with.

Not every service will be provided at the Drugstore branch itself, so confirm what is available there when you enquire.

Opening hours and the neighbourhood

The Drugstore pharmacy opens from 08:00 to 20:00 Monday to Friday and from 09:00 to 19:00 on Saturday. Opening on Sundays follows the national duty rota, so it is best to check ahead.

Ponta ta' Dragut is on the Sliema waterfront, within strolling distance of the shops and promenade. A hotel stay nearby is easy to arrange from our Sliema hotels page or the where to stay in Malta guide. Adventure Cruises Malta offers boat trips only a few minutes away, the Valletta guide covers the ferry destination, and the Malta weather guide explains how strong the sun gets.
