This service comprises of a 12-week programme where one of our pharmacists or technicians can help support you on your journey to stop smoking.
During the initial consultation we will take the necessary details and discuss the nature of your habit and reasons for wanting to quit. We will then go through the potential nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products that are available and which ones may suit you. We can also suggest good coping strategies for dealing with withdrawal symptoms.
Once we have decided on a treatment pathway together, you will be provided with the appropriate products. For the first few weeks the consultations are weekly then moving to fortnightly around halfway through the programme.
This service does require that you stop smoking completely once it begins. We will monitor your carbon monoxide levels at each appointment to check that this has been adhered to.

The Sore Throat Test and Treat scheme allows patients who have a sore throat to have a consultation with a pharmacist to assess what kind of condition they have. Around 90% of sore throats are caused by a viral infection which will usually get better on its own after a few days. We can advise on appropriate treatments to manage the pain if this is the case.
If, however, we suspect that there may be a bacterial cause to your condition, we can swab the back of the throat and test it. This will reveal whether there is a bacterial infection present and if so, we can supply a course of antibiotics to treat the condition. This service is only available to patients aged 6 years and above.
If you have any questions about this service, please contact the pharmacy.

Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person's blood sugar level to become too high.
There are 2 main types of diabetes:
type 1 diabetes – where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin
type 2 diabetes – where the body does not produce enough insulin, or the body's cells do not react to insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is far more common than type 1. In the UK, around 90% of all adults with diabetes have type 2.
The service we offer comprises of a diabetes risk assessment and a blood glucose test via a finger-prick sample. We cannot diagnose diabetes with this test at the pharmacy, but it can give you an insight to whether you may have or be at risk of developing the condition.

Our period delay service allows women to postpone and control when their period starts for times when a menstruation would be inconvenient, such as when they are going on holiday.
Norethisterone is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. Rather than allowing for the natural fall in progesterone during your period, norethisterone keeps your progesterone levels elevated. This delays the shedding of your womb lining, and therefore delays your period. Take one 5mg tablet, three times a day, starting three days before your expected period.
The price quoted is for your consultation and for a course of 30 tablets (taken for 10 days) which would be suitable for a week-long delay. We can supply up to a 2-week delay (for 14 days plus the 3 days prior to expected onset of period) for an additional fee. Menstruation usually occurs within 3 days of finishing the course of norethistorone.
This service is only suitable for females over the age of 16 who are not pregnant or breast-feeding and not on any kind of oral contraceptives. Liver disease, epilepsy and psychiatric disorders would also exclude you from using this treatment. For full details please contact the pharmacy.

The HPV vaccine protects against several strains of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which can cause cervical cancer in women, anal and penile cancer in men, and genital warts in both sexes.
HPV infections do not usually cause any symptoms, and most people will not know they are infected.
The NHS has changed its guidance on how many HPV vaccinations are required. If you are starting a new course most people will only require 2 doses.
It is best to get vaccinated before you have sex for the first time as this means you are protected before you are first exposed to HPV although you will still benefit from the vaccine if you are already sexually active. Boosters are not currently recommended.
The listed price is for a single dose of vaccine.

The shingles vaccine is given as an injection into the upper arm. Unlike the flu vaccine, you will only need to have the vaccination once and you can have it at any time of the year.
The shingles vaccine is suitable for patients aged 50 years and is expected to reduce your risk of getting shingles. If you do go on to have the disease, your symptoms may be milder and the illness shorter. Two doses are required and the price listed is for each dose.
If you turned 65 on or after 1st of September 2023, you will be entitled to an NHS funded shingles vaccine with your GP. You will remain eligible up until your 80th birthday.
