We dispense NHS prescriptions and give advice on how to get the most benefit from your medicines. We keep a comprehensive stock of medicines and use a fast and an efficient wholesaler service to enable us to fill all prescriptions promptly. Please note as a Mail Order and Internet Pharmacy, we are unable to dispense onsite while you wait.

We can dispense NHS repeat dispensing prescriptions issued by your doctor. Please ask us for more information about this service.

All medicines are dispensed in child resistant containers unless you ask us not to.
Please remember: keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children.  Our pharmacist can advise you on the safe storage of medicines.

Please return all unwanted medicines to the pharmacy where we will dispose of them safely. Please do not discard as household waste.

The pharmacist is available for advice on all medicines and minor ailments over the telephone, via email and at home (by appointment only).
We can also give you advice on how to live a healthy life – for example, advice on how to stop smoking or healthy eating.  We can direct you to other sources of advice and assistance if we cannot help you ourselves.

This is a medicine check-up service, which is useful if you regularly take several prescription medicines or are on medicines for a long-term condition. This confidential NHS service will help you to find out more about your medicines, identify any problems you may be having with them and help you to take your medicines to best effect.

When you are prescribed a new medicine to treat a long-term condition for the first time, the pharmacist will support you to use the medicine safely and to best effect.
The pharmacist will talk to you on receipt of the first prescription and then approximately two weeks later to see how you are getting on with it and to discuss any problems you may have. A further discussion will take place a month after you first receive the medicine. The service is only available to people using certain medicines – our pharmacist will give you details and offer this free NHS service if this is available to you.

Our computer allows us to keep records of all your prescriptions dispensed by us. This helps us check for possible problems, such as interactions between medicines and will help us deal with any queries you may have.
We comply with the Data Protection Act and the NHS Code of Practice on confidentiality.  If you want to discuss the records we keep, please ask to speak to the pharmacist.
