Our services include the following -
Chlamydia Screening and Treatment Service:
Clamelle Azithromycin 500mg tablets are a new treatment for Chlamydia available to buy from pharmacies. They contain Azithromycin (500mg), an effective antibiotic, now available without prescription. Always REad the label.
• Untreated chlymidia can cause infertility.
• Often Chlamydia displays no obvious symptoms.
• Chlamidia is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the UK
* Repeat prescriptions
We can record and store your repeat medication slips (order forms), thus saving you having to make extra journeys to either the pharmacy or your surgery when you need to order repeat medication. All you need to do is ring the pharmacy and give your repeat order over the phone during specified times of the day. The pharmacy will then do the rest. This service is available to anyone who has been authorised to receive repeat prescriptions.
Home Delivery: We will collect your repeat prescriptions from your doctor's surgery and, if you wish, deliver them straight to your door - this is available free of charge to the elderly and housebound. (You will need to complete a registration form for this: please ask the pharmacist.)
PLEASE REMEMBER: EVERY PRESCRIPTION ITEM COUNTS IN SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL INDEPENDENT CHEMIST!
* Roy Castle Fag Ends Stop Smoking Scheme
In conjunction with the local Health Authority, we offer a one-to-one smoking cessation programme designed to help
you stop - once and for all! You must agree to commit yourself to attend between four and eight sessions over a 6
to 12 week period depending on which Health Authority area you live in.
* Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC)
This is commonly known as the "morning after pill". Not strictly accurate! In fact, it is effective for up to 72
hours after unprotected intercourse though we would stress that it is best used as soon as possible. We can
provide EHC at the pharmacy during opening hours; no appointment is necessary.
NB: We provide a confidential pregnancy testing service on the premises, with the result
available in only a matter of minutes. Depending on the outcome of the test, our staff can advise and provide
information accordingly.
* Unwanted Medications
We are happy for you to return all your unwanted and unused medications to us for safe disposal. We cannot, however, accept used "sharps" (needles etc), though your G.P.'s practice will normally take these from you for destruction - please check with your surgery receptionist.
