📣 Important Notice for Our Customers

As you may be aware, we are currently upgrading our computer system to improve our service in the long term.
Unfortunately, this upgrade has caused some temporary issues:

• Not all patient data transferred correctly, and we are manually updating records.

• The new system is more difficult to navigate, which is slowing down our workflow.

• For those patients for whom we place monthly medication requests on their behalf, if you have personally requested any medication outside of your usual monthly delivery, please let us know so we can ensure it is prepared without delay.

If you have an urgent request or believe something is missing, please contact us:

📞 Phone: 01777 703299
📧 Email: bridgegate@mylocalchemist.co.uk
💬 WhatsApp: 01777 703299

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work through these changes.

Recently published UKHSA surveillance data indicates that influenza is circulating in the community earlier than usual this season with a drifted strain of Influenza A(H3N2) predominating.
It’s important that all eligible patients and healthcare workers get vaccinated as soon as possible.

After an unexpected delay in the delivery of our Covid booster vaccines, we are pleased to announce that we will be providing a vaccination service from Tuesday 8th April 2025.
There is no need to book an appointment but there may be a short wait during our busy times.

COVID-19 is more serious in older people and in people with certain underlying health conditions. For these reasons, people aged 75 years and over, those in care homes, and those aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system are being offered a spring dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

The directors and staff would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our customers, old and new, a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY and HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
We have been overwhelmed with your seasonal good wishes and greatly appreciate your generosity for which all staff will enjoy over the coming weeks 🍫🍪🍩🥂
As a reminder, we will be closing on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve at 6pm.
