There has been an increased in interest for the Meningitis B vaccine understandably.

Unfortunately we are currently OUT OF STOCK as the suppliers are unable to fulfill our order. We hope to obtain some stock within the next 2 weeks.

Please DO NOT call the pharmacy to enquire as unfortunately it prevents us from dealing with customers presenting in the pharmacy.

We will post here as soon as stock is available.

Thank you for your understanding and enjoy the wonderful weather today ☀️.

A community pharmacy is a great first port of call for advice on minor health issues and medicines.
Many pharmacies have extended opening hours and no appointment is needed. They have consulting rooms if you want to talk to someone in private about your symptoms.
They can offer treatment and advice for things like:
• aches and pains
• allergies
• bites and stings
• colds and nasal congestion, sore throat or flu
• cold sores and mouth ulcers
• constipation
• cystitis
• dry/sore eyes
• ear of headache
• emergency contraception (morning after pill)
• nappy rash and teething
• skin irritations and acne
• sprains
• stomach upsets and diarrhoea
• sunburn.
Pharmacists are highly qualified healthcare professionals and can also advise on whether another NHS service is required.
For more on community pharmacies and where to find them, click www.nhs.uk, use the NHS app or the ASAP Glos NHS website and app.

Our collection shelves are now FULL and we simply cannot store any more new prescriptions that are coming from the surgery 😱.

Please do pop down ASAP during opening hours to collect your medicines.

Whilst you are here, have a browse of our stocking fillers. We have introduced over 150+ new shop products in 2025!

We've been asked to stock Solar Buddies so we have!

These are refillable suncream applicators for children and adults. Available in several colour options. You can fill with your favourite suncream and let the kids become more independent with their suncare regime.

Solar Buddies are now available in store.

So if you plan to pick one of these up then pop down to the pharmacy and .

What colour will you choose?!

Oh gosh!

💧🚰 “Bottled water costs about 2,000 times more than tap water.”

It’s a surprising comparison, but one that highlights just how easy it can be to make a more affordable, sustainable choice. Choosing to refill a bottle instead of buying bottled water helps reduce plastic waste and save money over time. ♻️💙

Many people are finding it easier than ever to refill on the go, thanks to helpful tools like the “Refill app” (Refill Return) and local directories that show nearby water stations, fountains, and refill-friendly cafes.

🗺️ Refill apps and maps are making it simple to stay hydrated without single-use plastic whether you're in your own neighbourhood or travelling abroad.
