About Paydens Pharmacy
Paydens is an independent, family-owned pharmacy group established in 1969, with its head office in Maidstone. It operates more than 100 community pharmacies across South East England, from village pharmacies to high street branches. Teams provide NHS and private services, including prescriptions, blood pressure checks, vaccinations, weight management, travel health and contraception.
The group combines local pharmacy care with online NHS prescription ordering and prescription delivery. Its service range also includes medicines management, palliative care, substance misuse support and supervised medication services, with availability varying by branch. Paydens reports approximately 1,100 colleagues across pharmacy branches, support functions and distribution operations in its statement for the year to March 2026.
Development across the team
All staff complete accredited learning in pharmacy knowledge. Paydens also offers distance learning, specialist events, staff training days and regular appraisals. Dispensary staff can pursue recognised qualifications, while pharmacists have routes into foundation training and further clinical study.
A pharmacy network with central support
Automated dispensing from the Maidstone hub supports pharmacies in concentrating on patient care. The network combines local branches with central support functions, and recruits pharmacy assistants, dispensing staff, technicians, delivery drivers and pharmacists.
