This review focuses on a patient's use of urostomy, colostomy and stoma products. The aims of which are to ensure that patients are using the most appropriate appliances for their needs and to problem solve any issues which may have arisen e.g. allergy to flange glue, recurrent infection or seepage.
These are priced according to the actual cost of the medicine. Please contact the store for individual prices.
If you have any medicines which you no longer require, or which have expired, please return them to the pharmacy for their safe disposal. All medicines are potentially hazardous to both people and the environment, so it is important that large quantities are not allowed to accumulate in the home. Therefore, medicines must be disposed of in the correct manner and not in household waste or down the drains.
Please note we do not dispose of Sharps (needles/ syringes/ EpiPen’s waste). This can be done through SRCL 0333 554 6221. A referral from your GP will be needed to access this service
Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC), sometimes called "the morning after" pill, is available to purchase over the counter from pharmacies. The pill can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex, but it is more effective the sooner it is taken. The product is marketed under the brand Levonelle. Alternatively, Ella One can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sex. The supply will be made personally by the Pharmacist and will involve a confidential discussion in the private consultation room. The supply needs to be made to the person who will take the pill and a few, slightly personal questions will need to be asked to check that EHC is necessary, safe and likely to be effective. The over the counter license for supply is to women over 16. Please note that there are treatments which are effective after the 72-hour window which can be obtained from either your GP surgery or family planning clinics.
Subject to accreditation and eligibility we can supply emergency medication if you have run out of a medication, it has been lost or damaged or because you have left home without it. Where the emergency medication supply is not available as an NHS service, patients can pay privately.
Providing healthcare advice and treatment to patients is a well-established service provided by pharmacies. The accessibility of the Pharmacist as a highly trained healthcare professional available for advice without the need for an appointment makes the pharmacy an ideal first port of call for self-medication. In line with the Common Ailment Scheme your Pharmacist can provide free confidential NHS advice and treatment without you having to make an appointment to see your GP for the following common ailments:
Indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea, piles, hay fever, head lice, teething, nappy rash, colic, chicken pox, threadworms, sore throat, athlete’s foot, eye infections, conjunctivitis, mouth ulcers, cold sores, acne, dry skin, dermatitis, verruca, back pain, ingrowing toenails, vaginal thrush, oral thrush and scabies.
Additionally, all counter staff have a legal requirement to have completed an accredited training programme to enable them to safely advise and sell medicines over the counter. In recent years, an increasing number of medicines have changed their status from prescription only to being available to buy over the counter, enabling us to successfully treat a greater range of illnesses than ever before without the need to contact your GP. If you are suffering from a minor/common ailment and require help, our staff will need to ask a few quick questions to allow them to identify an appropriate course of action:
Counter assistants will then either suggest you try an over the counter medicine, refer you to the Pharmacist for a more thorough consultation or refer you to your GP surgery. All consultations will be dealt with considerately and if either you or the member of staff feels that a higher level of privacy is required there is a separate consultation room available. If at any point you wish to speak with the Pharmacist personally please ask and your request will be honoured. We are also trained to offer advice on health supplements, herbal medicines and wider healthcare issues. Following recent changes in legislation we can now offer a range of veterinary products too.
