You can get oral contraception and emergency contraception directly from participating pharmacies, without needing a prescription or GP appointment. This makes accessing contraception quicker and more convenient, helping you stay in control of your s*xual health. Trained pharmacy teams can offer confidential advice and support to help you choose the right option for you. 💊🩺

Emergency contraception can stop you getting pregnant after unprotected s*x (s*x without contraception or when contraception might have failed). If you need emergency contraception after having unprotected s*x, speak to your local pharmacist as soon as you can. You need to use emergency contraception within 3 to 5 days of having unprotected s*x. ✨

Colds are very common in babies and toddlers, and while they can be worrying, most get better on their own with simple care.

Keeping your child comfortable with fluids, rest and age-appropriate remedies can help ease symptoms, and knowing when to seek medical advice is important for peace of mind. Trusted guidance can help you support your child safely at home. 👶🤧💙

🩺 Meet Our New Patient POD 🩺

Our new Patient POD is quick and easy to use, with clear visual and audio instructions. It measures important health checks such as your blood pressure, pulse, height, weight and body mass index (BMI).

Once you’ve used the POD, your results are automatically added to your medical record and reviewed by a clinician. If anything needs follow-up, a member of our team will contact you directly.

You don’t need an appointment to use it – simply pop in when the practice is open, arrive a little early for your appointment, or use it if you’re nearby with a few minutes to spare.

Small check, big impact on your health. 💙

We’re currently seeing an increase in coughs, colds and flu-like symptoms. To help protect our staff and other patients, we kindly ask that if you’re experiencing symptoms of a respiratory virus – such as a cough, cold or flu-like symptoms – you consider wearing a mask while in the surgery.

If you do have any of these symptoms, please let our reception team know as soon as you arrive so we can support you appropriately. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe. 💙
