🤰 Paracetamol is still the recommended pain relief option in pregnancy when used as directed.

A major study involving 2.4 million children found no evidence that paracetamol use in pregnancy causes autism.

If you have questions about medicines in pregnancy, always speak to your healthcare professional.

Today is ⚕️

Today, we processed prescriptions, provided advice over the counter and on prescription medications, provided services on the Pharmacy first scheme, triaged walk in patients and either treated or referred to the most appropriate place of care, answered queries, reassured patients, booked in flu jabs, chased stock, supported patients after discharge from hospital, provided support to our GP colleagues and drank tea, amongst other things!

Pharmacy now offers more services than ever before, from emergency contraception to impetigo, to repeat dispensing to flu vaccinations, to blood pressure checks to hospital discharge services... We are a busy little hub, and our pharmacists are supported by our incredible pharmacy team, to help us make all of this happen!

Today we celebrate our profession and thank you for your support ❤️⚕️

Medical exemption certificates have expiry dates! 😳

Check yours now if you have one!

These certificates are for patients who have certain health conditions that allow them exemption from prescription charges.

Despite the majority of these conditions being lifelong, the certificate only lasts 5 or 10 years, and then you need to reapply.

Please check your certificate is still in date and renew if needed, by completing a form available from your GP practice and handing it in for your GP to sign and send.

If you claim for a prescription on an expired medical exemption certificate you may receive a fine from the NHS.

It is the patients responsibility and not the pharmacies to ensure their exemption is up to date and valid. The arrangement is between the patient and the NHS only.

Check yours today for peace of mind, and set a reminder on your calendar for when you need to renew!

For anyone who needs to know, newborn and size 2 nappies have arrived! 👶👶
To help us manage to stock and demand, please do let us know if you ever want us to order extra, but we will aim to always hold 2 packs of each of these sizes in, until we have a better understanding of demand.
Most deliveries are next working day, or 2 working days, depending on weather conditions affecting flights, so if you need something ordered, our wholesalers stock a huge variety of products - always feel free to ask!

Stock update! 👶
After liaising with our local Co-op team, we have decided to stock nappies in the sizes they don't hold - at the moment, this is newborn and size 2.
They should be arriving tomorrow afternoon or Monday depending on weather, and should be available to purchase from Tuesday onwards.

We are constantly considering our stock holding - if you ever have any feedback or suggestions, please do get in touch 😊

UPDATE! Due to our fab Post Office team being absolute superstars 🌟, we will now take the St Martins box down before we open Friday, for it to go across the same day!
Huge thanks to Euan and Alison for making it all happen 🌟

Due to the post office being closed this Thursday over lunch, we will not be able to drop the St. Martin's box to them, for sending Friday.
We will send prescriptions tomorrow with the GP as normal, but anyone who has something prescribed at the clinic will need to make arrangements to collect if they need the items before the next delivery, which will be the following Wednesday.
Many thanks for your understanding

It is the medical exemption certificate that entitles you to free NHS prescriptions, not the medical condition. If you do not have a valid medical exemption certificate, you may be liable for a penalty charge. Find out if you’re entitled to NHS dental treatment and other help with health cost usin...
