About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
In Person
You can order in person by returning the right-hand side of a previous prescription for the required medications.
Alternatively, you may submit a handwritten request, including the patient’s name, date of birth, and the medication needed. You can also place orders on behalf of someone else.
When we are closed, please use the dedicated letterbox on right hand side of the front door.
Questions about your prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
If you need to speak to someone about your prescription, please book a phone call with a member of our pharmacy team.
Medication Reviews
If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.
If you repeatedly ignore requests for a medication review, your prescription may be issued for a shorter duration.
