If you are too busy to arrange to see your doctor or feel your problem is not severe enough to talk to a GP, you can just drop in and have a chat with our pharmacists about any health related problems that may be bothering you or your family.   You can be seen in our private consultation rooms and if necessary we can provide you with the medication you may need or refer you to a very wide variety of National and Local services if your problem requires further help.

We now have a wide selection of products available to order to help you and your loved ones when they've injured themselves or just as they're getting older.   Ask at the counter for anything from Wheelchairs to Bath aids and our staff will be able to advise you on the selection we can supply. Certain items such as wheel chairs and crutches are also available to hire so please enquire at the counter.

You can choose how you want your prescription to be dealt with. You can organise for us to collect it from the local surgeries, then it will be ready within 48 hours for you to pick up.   If you bring it in yourself, we aim to have your script ready within 10 minutes (sometimes even faster if there is no queue). Please note that some periods do get quite busy as some of our branches so you are welcome to leave your script and we will have it ready and bagged for you when return at your own convenience.

If you have out of date or unwanted medicines, both prescription or over the counter drugs, don’t bin them or flush them. You can take your unwanted or out of date medicines back to your pharmacy for safe disposal, and it’s completely FREE. Each year enormous quantities of unused and expired medications are dumped into bins or flushed down toilets and sinks. The effects on the environment and human health are unclear but evidence is pointing to the presence of chemicals from prescriptions and over-the-counter medications in soil, drinking water and the surrounding environment. Just as proper medication administration is important, so is safe and cautious disposal.

No appointments needed, easily accessible location and just a quick consultation, we ensure a hassle free service to all our patients. Simply walk in and ask to speak to our friendly and professional pharmacist about the morning after pill.

Our pharmacist will need to see the person that the emergency contraception is intended for, and will need to ask a few questions regarding the patients’ medical history. This is done in the privacy of our consultation room and everything discussed is in complete confidence. The sooner you come to our pharmacy to take the morning after pill, the greater the chances of avoiding pregnancy.

If the Pharmacist feels like Levonelle One Step is not suitable for you, they will not give you the morning after pill, but advise you to see your health care professional.

We are one of the few pharmacies that are able to provide the morning after pill free of charge to patients who are aged 24 and under, and who meet the NHS criteria. Alternatively, the pill can be purchased privately from our pharmacy.

About Emergency Contraception (Levonelle One Step) -
When it comes to sex, even if you’ve taken precautions, sometimes things don’t quite go to plan. Accidents happen with contraception and things go wrong all the time. You may even just be worried that your contraceptive pill hasn’t worked. If you’ve had unprotected sex or you’re worried about contraception failure, here is some of the information you need to know about Levonelle One Step -

- Levonelle One Step is an emergency contraceptive that can be used within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex or if your contraceptive method has failed.
- There is one white tablet in the pack and it is most effective when taken within the first 12 hours
- The tablet contains a hormone called Levonorgestrel.
- Levonelle One Step is thought to work by stopping your ovaries from releasing an egg or by preventing sperm from fertilising any egg that may have already been released
- If you are over 16 you can get Levonelle One Step over the counter at our Pharmacy
- If you are under 16 you cannot buy Levonelle One Step at the Pharmacy, you need to visit your GP or a Walk-In centre
- Levonelle One Step works to prevent a pregnancy becoming established, it does not work if you are already pregnant
- You should only use Levonelle One Step in emergencies, not as a regular form of contraception

Please note, there are other emergency contraceptive options available through your doctor or at a Walk-In centre.

If you do have any questions or require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.

Erection problems (impotence) are very common, particularly in men over 40. It's usually nothing to worry about, but you should see a GP if it keeps happening.

Most men occasionally fail to get or keep an erection.  Causes of erection problems can be stress, tiredness, anxiety or drinking too much alcohol, and it's nothing to worry about.

If it happens more often, it may be caused by physical or emotional problems.

Medicine such as sildenafil is often used by doctors to treat erectile dysfunction. It is also available from our pharmacy. You no longer need a prescription to get sildenafil.  You can have a private consultation with our pharmacist to make sure it's safe for you to take it.

We can advise you on complementary therapies and help you understand the differences and the benefits of many different types.   We can also advise you on staying healthy from vitamin and mineral supplements to enhance your diet, to weight loss aids and supplements to help your mind stay sharp and agile.

With all the information about the best way to live your life constantly being updated, your local pharmacist will help you decide what the risks and benefits are for various diets, exercise regimes, alternative therapies and much more. Just call and you can arrange an appointment when you can discuss your needs and if you are on any medication we can help you fit it or adjust it to your lifestyle.

If you are one of the many people suffering from a long-term illness like diabetes or asthma, our pharmacist can help you with controlling the symptoms, checking your drugs and working and that you are not suffering from side effects. They can also tell you about non-pharmaceutical advice that can help improve your quality of life.

This is an opportunity for our pharmacist to discuss and review the medicines you are taking to ensure you are using them correctly and getting the maximum benefit. We will explain clearly and simply, without any medical jargon, what they are for and the conditions they treat and identify any possible side effects that you may be experiencing. We will listen to you and any problems you are having with your medicines, provide advice and support and if necessary contact your Doctor to discuss any issues that arise from our conversation.

An MUR can help:

• improve your understanding of the medicines you are taking;
• highlight problematic side effects and propose solutions where appropriate;
• improve adherence
• reduce medicines wastage, usually by helping you only order the medicines you need

Our pharmacist may be able to conduct an MUR over the telephone or for eligible patient

Elderly people have special needs when it comes to medicines. Our pharmacist can advise you on the safest and most effective way to help ensure that they are taken at the right time and in the right way.   We even have special boxes to ensure the elderly don't get confused when taking many different tablets throughout the day. Just ask in your local branch.

You can carry out most pregnancy tests from the first day of a missed period. If you don't know when your next period is due, do the test at least 21 days after you last had unprotected sex.

Some very sensitive pregnancy tests can be used even before you miss a period, from as early as 8 days after conception.

You can do a pregnancy test in our pharmacy on a sample of urine collected at any time of the day. It doesn't have to be in the morning.

This service is confidential.
