If you need any healthcare advice we are available to discuss in store or on the phone.
We recognise some of you may be worried with the strikes and what that might mean.
We stand in solidarity with the Nurses and Paramedics during these unprecedented times for the survival of the NHS. Their industrial action has come as a final resort and would never endanger the public wilfully. The fact is the public has been endangered due to underfunding by the government and their unwillingness to listen to those who run the NHS on a day-to-day basis, the doctors, nurses, paramedics and support staff thus leaving the NHS in such a precarious state.

Pharmacists are responsible for ensuring that the supply of medicines is within the law, ensuring that the medicines prescribed to patients are suitable and advising patients about medicines, including how to take them, what reactions may occur and answering patients' questions.
How an MPharm degree help them do so?

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues, don't forget the importance of getting vaccinated against the flu!

It is expected that the seasonal flu virus will co-circulate with the Covid-19 virus this winter. As influenza levels were extremely low during the 2020/21 flu season, lower population immunity is expected this year.

Therefore, it is vital that all eligible people get their flu jab to protect themselves this year. Please call our pharmacy directly to book your flu vaccination.
