We want to keep our patients informed about a growing issue affecting community pharmacies across the UK.

Due to ongoing medicine supply shortages, we are sometimes unable to obtain certain prescribed medications in a timely manner. This is a nationwide challenge and unfortunately outside of our control.

If your medication is affected, our team may need to:
• Contact your GP to arrange an alternative treatment
• Request a different brand or formulation (e.g. capsules instead of tablets or vice versa)
• Ask you to allow a little extra time while we source stock

Please be assured that we will always do everything we can to ensure you receive safe and appropriate treatment.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding during this time. If you have any concerns about your prescription, please speak to a member of our team — we’re here to help.

Thank you for your continued support,
Bridgegate Chemist 💊

The NHS Spring Covid vaccinations will begin on 13th April and end on 30th June.
Ideally, we would like for you to book an appointment via the national booking services or the 119 telephone booking service so we can monitor our workload.
That said, we know that not everyone is confident with this approach so, as with previous years, we are happy to accommodate walk in appointments (fitting these in between the pre-booked ones).
The eligibility criteria for Spring 2026 remains the same as last year:

💉adults aged 75 years and over (by 30 June 2026)
💉residents in a care home for older adults
💉individuals aged 6 months and over who have a weakened immune system

📣 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.
At Bridgegate Chemist, we continue to offer the influenza vaccination without the need for an appointment.
