Our role is to help you stay healthy, and not only to treat you when you are ill. We are always happy to take time to share our professional knowledge and experience with you. We will advise you not only on the selection of medicines but also on nutrition and other possible ways of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. There is no need to make an appointment. You can always be sure of friendly, professional, confidential advice. We do not close for lunch.

PARTNERSHIP IN YOUR MEDICINE
(Medicine Use Review)

The treatment of most long-term conditions depending on effective use of medicines, but how much do you really know about the medicines your doctor prescribes for you? We have established an NHS service called MUR which is an ideal opportunity for you to raise any concerns or queries you may have about your treatment or seek re assurance. Just call in or ring us to book an appointment with our pharmacist.

This service is completely free to you.

NUTRITION

We stock a very comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals and other dietary supplements, including ranges which are used by professional nutritionists. Many of our products are gluten and lactose free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. We will be pleased to use our professional skill and expertise to advise you on the selection of the most suitable product for your needs. We will also advise you on general dietary matters, for babies, children and adults.

COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES

We stock a large range of homeopathic, herbal and aromatherapy remedies. We keep a good selection of free pamphlets and can provide you with information on the use of these products.

REPEAT PRESCRIPTION COLLECTION AND DELIVERY SERVICE

We will be pleased to collect repeat prescriptions on your behalf from your local doctor's surgery. Alternatively, simply leave your repeat request form with us and then phone the pharmacy when a further supply is needed. In certain circumstances we will even deliver the medicine to your house for you. If you require further information on this service, please ask for details.

PRESCRIPTIONS

We dispense both NHS and private prescriptions, both orthodox and homeopathic.

We keep a secure computerised record of all your medicines, which enables us to to advise you appropriately when dispensing and selling you over the counter medicines. Our computer system keeps a record of any known allergies that you may have, and it also helps to check that new medicines you take don't clash with previous ones.

All tablets and capsules are dispensed in child resistant containers - unless you ask us not to. To help elderly or confused people, we can supply special containers in which a week's tablets can be set out in advance in individual doses. Please ask the pharmacist for details.
