FREE PRESCRIPTION ORDERING, COLLECTION AND DELIVERY SERVICE

Make the most of your Pharmacist...

Routine Prescriptions

We order and collect  prescriptions from your surgery. At the same time as our computer produces labels for medicines being dispensed, it keeps a record of such items. It can also record details of any advice given to patients about their healthcare and lifestyle. The pharmacist can give you information about your medication and how to use it safely.

Repeat Prescriptions

We can record and store your repeat medication slips (order forms), thus saving you having to make extra journeys to either the pharmacy or your surgery when you need to order repeat medication. All you need to do is ring the pharmacy and give your repeat order over the phone during specified times of the day. The pharmacy will then do the rest. This service is available to anyone who has been authorised to receive repeat prescriptions.

Monitored Dosage Systems

If either yourself or someone you care for has problems remembering how or when to take prescribed medication, we may be able to help with a compliance device. This is usually a cassette or card filled with one week’s/one mth’s  supply of medicine, split into different times of the day for each day of the week/mth.  Please note, however, that such a device might not be suitable for all patients and potential candidates will need to be assessed before such an aid can be offered. You should also mention this to your G.P. Please ask your pharmacist for details.  We provide this service for community patients and residential and nursing homes.

Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC)

This is commonly known as the “morning after pill”. Not strictly accurate! In fact, it is effective for up to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse though we would stress that it is best used as soon as possible. We can provide EHC at the pharmacy during opening hours; no appointment is necessary.
NB: We provide a confidential pregnancy testing service on the premises, with the result available in only a matter of minutes. Depending on the outcome of the test, our staff can advise and provide information accordingly.

Weight loss management:

If you are seriously overweight and determined to do something about it then our pharmacy can help you succeed. The benefits of weight reduction are well publicised. For example, it can:

1. Increase your energy levels
2. Lower blood pressure
3. Reduce cholesterol levels
4. Reduce risk of developing diabetes
5. Ease joint pains and improve mobility
6. Reduce breathlessness.
You may have tried dieting before but without success or probably put the weight back on after stopping the diet. With our monitoring and guidance we can help you to reduce your weight and maintain it.

Smoking cessation support:

In conjunction with the local Health Authority, we offer a one-to-one stop smoking cessation programme designed to help you stop – once and for all! You must agree to commit yourself to attend for one session weekly over a 12 week period.

Veterinary Medicines

New legislation allows pharmacists to recommend, prescribe and sell veterinary medicines. You are now entitled to ask your vet for a prescription to be dispensed by your pharmacist, in much the same way a family doctor gives you a prescription; your vet is not allowed to charge you for this. You can then take advantage of the veterinary prescription dispensing service at this pharmacy. Also stockists of ‘Frontline’.

We also stock a range of beauty and fragrance products.
