Unwanted Medicines
Please return all unwanted medicines to the pharmacy where we will dispose of them safely.
Health Advice and Self-care
The pharmacist and our trained assistants are available for advice on all medicines and minor ailments, in private if required. We can also give you advice on how to live a healthy life, for example, advice on how to stop smoking, or healthy diets.
We can direct you to other sources of advice and assistance if we cannot help you ourselves.
​
Patient Medication Records
Our computer allows us to keep records of all your prescriptions dispensed by us. This helps us check for possible problems, such as reactions between medicines and will help us deal with any queries you may have.
We comply with the Data Protection Act and the NHS code of practice on confidentiality.
Repeat Prescription Collection Service
We offer a repeat prescription collection service from selected local surgeries. Please ask for details.
Medicines Sales

Holiday Healthcare
We can advise on medical requirements for travellers, including anti-malaria treatments and travel vaccinations.
Emergency Supplies
If you need one of your regular medicines in an emergency when you are unable to contact your doctor, we may be able to help.
We must stress that this can only be done in genuine emergencies and it may incur a charge.
Comments, Suggestions, Complaints and Compliments
Our aim is to give the highest possible standard of service. We would like you to tell us what you think about the service we provide at this pharmacy.
If you have any comments, suggestions or complaints, please speak to a member of staff.
We welcome any general comments about the services we provide and any suggestions of ways in which we can improve our services to you.
We operate a complaints procedure as part of the NHS system for dealing with complaints. Our system meets national criteria. Our Pharmacist will give you further information.
You may also seek advice from the local Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS). PALS are not part of the complaints procedure itself but they might be able to resolve your concerns informally or they can tell you more about the complaints procedure and independent complaints advocacy services.
An independent complaints advocacy service (ICAS) is available to provide advice and support for people who wish to complain about the NHS.
