NHS Pharmacy Services

If you are over 40 and not on any blood pressure medication you can have a free NHS blood pressure check. This is important to prevent heart disease and strokes. To qualify, the patient must not have previously been identified as having hypertension or a related condition.

We offer a comprehensive Contraception Service where our trained pharmacists provide consultations and access to birth control methods. We are dedicated to promoting safe and accessible family planning options for our community. Stop by and see how we can help you with your contraceptive needs.

We are able to obtain your prescriptions electronically without the need for a paper copy. Simply ask your GP Surgery to nominate our pharmacy in order for your prescriptions to be transferred to us automatically.

Our pharmacist will need to see the person that the emergency contraception is intended for, and will need to ask a few questions regarding the patients’ medical history. This is done in the privacy of our consultation room and everything discussed is in complete confidence. The sooner you come to our pharmacy to take the morning after pill, the greater the chances of avoiding pregnancy.

When you are prescribed a new medicine by your doctor our pharmacists can offer support and advice to ensure you take the new medication as prescribed without suffering any unwanted side effects or explain any further questions you may have. We usually do this by keeping in contact with you during the first 4 weeks of your new medicine being prescribed.

We provide a face-to-face stop smoke service giving regular support for 12 weeks and advice to help you quit. This also includes the provision of Nicotine Replacement Therapy or Varenicline ( Champix ) dependant on suitability for up to 12 weeks. We also offer a cut-down programme over 6 weeks for those contemplating giving up smoking but not sure yet if they want to quit.
