🦟 Been bitten? We’re seeing LOTS of insect bites around Heyford Park right now!

With the warmer weather and more time outdoors, insect bites are on the rise, and some can become infected.

If you were bitten more than 48 hours ago and your symptoms are getting worse, come and see us at Minerva Clinical Services under the NHS Pharmacy First service.

🚩 Signs your insect bite may be infected:
• Increasing redness or swelling
• Pain or tenderness
• Warmth around the bite
• Pus or discharge
• Feeling generally unwell

Our pharmacist can assess you and, if appropriate, provide treatment, including prescription medicine, without needing to see a GP.

Give us a call to make an appointment.

💙 We’re Back — And Here to Help

Now that we’re fully back in action at Minerva Clinical Services, just a reminder of the NHS services available to you right here in your local pharmacy:

🩺 Hypertension Screening Service
High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms.
If you’re aged 40+ (or 35+ and at higher risk), pop in for a free NHS blood pressure check. It only takes a few minutes and could make a big difference to your long-term health.

💊 Pharmacy First
You can be assessed and treated for seven common conditions without seeing a GP, including:
• Sinusitis
• Sore throat
• Earache
• Infected insect bites
• Impetigo
• Shingles
• UTIs (eligible women)

No appointment needed. Private consultation room available.

Think pharmacy first and make the most of your local NHS services.

⏰ Please Order Your Prescriptions on Time

We’d like to remind our patients to order repeat prescriptions at least 7 days before you run out.

We will be closed from Thursday to Sunday next week, and we are currently extremely busy with:
• High prescription volumes
• NHS and private services
• Increased flu vaccination appointments

Ordering early gives your GP surgery and pharmacy enough time to process prescriptions and order items in.

🎄 Important Christmas Reminder
If you would like to receive your medications before Christmas, the last day to order your prescription is TODAY. Please do not leave it too late, as we may not be able to process late requests in time.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this very busy period.
