Services

Emergency Hormonal Contraception

We provide emergency contraception with no appointments needed. Our pharmacists offer quick consultations in private rooms, with free provision for patients aged 13-25 meeting NHS criteria. The service operates within 120 hours of unprotected sex, with Levonorgestrel-based medication proven most effective when taken within 12 hours. Our team ensures confidential advice about contraceptive options and follow-up care.

Medicine Use Review

This NHS-funded service involves 20-minute private consultations to discuss medication regimens. Our pharmacists help patients understand their medicines' mechanisms and identify potential side effects or interactions. The service particularly benefits patients on multiple medications, ensuring optimal treatment outcomes through personalised advice and dosage clarification.

Blister Packs

Our blister packing service organises daily medications into weekly packs, divided by day and time. This visual aid helps patients manage complex regimens, reducing missed doses. Available for patients on three or more daily tablets, the service includes delivery options and pharmacist verification of medication suitability for blister packing.

Minor Ailments

We treat over 20 common conditions without GP referrals, including acne, cystitis, and hay fever. Our clinically trained pharmacists provide NHS-funded treatments where applicable, with private options available. The service reduces pressure on GP surgeries through immediate access to expert advice and appropriate medication supply.

Electronic Prescription Service

This service allows patients to nominate us as their preferred pharmacy for electronic prescriptions. GPs send prescriptions directly to us, eliminating paper collection and enabling faster processing. Patients benefit from reduced waiting times and the flexibility to collect medications from convenient locations.

Staff are always friendly and helpful. They are much better than my GP practice, for a start off they are always available and they remember regular customers. They get to know regular customers making prescription collections more pleasant. They offer free delivery for prescription if needed.
