Our Doctors

Dr Morton’s was launched by Dr Karen Morton, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, and a large group of experienced NHS GPs, all of whom could see that there is a better way of providing health care and advice to the thousands of people who have a medical problem, but do not need to be examined, nor need continuity of care. The doctors are able to answer customer queries, advise on all manner of medical conditions and preventative healthcare, and prescribe appropriate medication, as well as arranging necessary investigations and, where required, making onward referrals. They have experienced gynaecologists on hand to consult on women’s health issues.

Dr Morton’s is proud to be working with Oxford Online Pharmacy as they both share the commitment to providing safe and effective healthcare online, or by remote consulting. Together, Dr Morton’s and Chief Pharmacist, Stuart Gale, are committed to ensuring every patient gets the best possible care, safe in the knowledge that they are dealing with a trusted pharmacy and trusted medical professionals.

Stuart Gale

Pharmacist and Owner of the Frost Pharmacy Group and Superintendent Pharmacist of Oxford Online Pharmacy

Stuart Gale is Chief Pharmacist, Owner and Manager of the Frost Pharmacy Group (www.frostspharmacy.co.uk ) and Oxford Online Pharmacy (www.oxfordonlinepharmacy.co.uk ).

Established in 1925 by John Frost, Stuart Gale’s grandfather, the business has continued to develop and grow, with Oxford Online Pharmacy now recognised as one of the UK’s leading online pharmacies, providing professional online doctor services.

Gale began working for the family business from a young age, stacking shelves and washing out medicine bottles for his grandfather after school and at weekends. Historically, it was standard practice for pharmacists to make a lot of their own medicines and potions and Gale remembers his grandfather mixing up cough mixture (as late as 1985) and dye which fashion conscious female customers would paint down their legs to look like stocking seams.

Having graduated with a degree in Pharmacy from Manchester University, Gale took a position at a Boots in London, where he worked for three years. He then took on a role as pharmacist within the family business, gradually becoming more involved.

The emergence of online pharmacies has evoked a major change in the world of dispensing pharmaceuticals - prescriptions can now be sent electronically and text messages and apps are used to remind patients to take their medication - and Gale is committed to ensuring Oxford Online Pharmacy is at the forefront of developments in online dispensing.

Gale’s vision is to combine the original values instilled by his grandfather of quality, old-fashioned customer service, expert advice and determination to help, with the convenience and discretion of the internet, to ensure every patient gets the best possible user experience safe in the knowledge that they are dealing with a trusted source.
