Travel Clinic

Our travel clinic provides comprehensive pre-travel health preparations including vaccinations and antimalarial prescriptions. Fully trained pharmacists administer essential travel vaccines for destinations requiring protection against hepatitis, typhoid, meningitis, and Japanese encephalitis. We offer expert advice on destination-specific health risks, medication requirements for altitude sickness or period delay, and necessary travel health documentation to ensure safe international travel for leisure or gap year adventures.

Flu Vaccination

Staveley Pharmacy delivers both NHS-eligible and private flu vaccination services using modern immunization techniques. Our pharmacists administer annual influenza vaccines to protect against seasonal strains, explaining immune response development and potential side effects. We cater to high-risk groups including elderly patients, pregnant women, and those with chronic conditions, offering convenient booking options through our online system while maintaining strict safety protocols for vaccine administration.

We provide access to essential mobility aids through NHS partnerships and private sales.

Caring for people, individually and in community, is what this pharmacy does. It is like prescribing medicine is its second raison d'etre.

I have been going to Staveley Pharmacy for several years now. The staff are always professional yet friendly. They greet you with a smile and always go above and beyond to help. I had a minor health concern and Anothai offered to help and was wonderful. He confirmed what I was suffering from and was patient and understanding and gave great advice. Most of all though he gave me peace of mind and stopped me from worrying unnecessarily. A great local pharmacy with super staff that is headed up by a brilliant and caring pharmacist, Anothai Chareunsy. A pharmacy that is truly an asset to the community

Didn't have the prescription in stock due to suppliers being out of stock, so rang round other chemists in the area. When no luck the owner rang GP to get the prescription changed for a similar alternative. Stayed open late whilst waiting for GP to get back in touch. Incredible service and very much appreciated thank you.

Thank you Staveley Pharmacy for the way in which you dealt with my dad's prescription following our call to NHS 111. It was very much appreciated. Amanda

Very professional pharmacy, but more important very caring. The pharmacist is excellent and goes way beyond in caring than any other pharmacist I have known. He and his staff are an asset to the community. I hope that everyone in and around Staveley will boycott the online NHS prescription service that has been advertised on TV. If anything, our local excellent pharmacy needs more funding to being able to keep helping our locals.
