ADVICE
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.
LIFESTYLE
We have a
special interest in healthy hearts! We can advise you on changes that you
could make to your diet and lifestyle which would be of benefit. If
necessary we will advise you to see your doctor. Early detection of
potential problems can prevent heart attacks or strokes in the future.
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.

We are able to supply the correct first
aid kits that are required by law for industrial and business use. We also
supply electronic blood pressure testing equipment for home use, and also
blood glucose testing instruments for diabetics.
UNWANTED MEDICINES
It is very dangerous to hoard unused
medicines, or to throw them away. If you return them to us, we will
dispose of them properly for you. |
NUTRITION
We stock
a range of vitamins and minerals and other dietary supplements, including
ranges which are used by professional nutritionists. We will be happy 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 selection of homeopathic and aromatherapy remedies.
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.
REPEAT PRESCRIPTION COLLECTION

We will be pleased to collect repeat
prescriptions on your behalf from your local doctor's surgery. If
