Services
Pharmacy Services
Our pharmacies dispense NHS and private prescriptions while offering expert advice on medication management. Patients receive guidance on treatment plans, side effects, and interactions in private consultation rooms. Services include repeat prescriptions, emergency hormonal contraception, and support for long-term conditions.
Free Blood Pressure Checks
We provide free NHS blood pressure checks for individuals aged 40+ without a hypertension diagnosis. The 10-15 minute consultation helps identify cardiovascular risks, with referrals to GPs when necessary. This preventative service aims to reduce heart disease and stroke incidence through early detection.
Free Flu Vaccinations
Eligible adults receive free NHS flu vaccines to protect against seasonal influenza. The service targets those aged 65+, pregnant women, individuals with chronic conditions, and frontline social care workers. Vaccinations are administered by trained pharmacy staff following appointment booking.
Electronic Prescriptions
The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) allows GPs to send prescriptions directly to chosen pharmacies. Patients avoid visiting clinics to collect paper prescriptions, with medications prepared in advance for quicker collection. This secure system reduces administrative delays and prescription errors.
New Medicine Service
This free NHS service supports patients starting new medications for chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, and hypertension. Pharmacists provide usage guidance, address concerns, and monitor treatment effectiveness through follow-up consultations to improve adherence and health outcomes.
