Shingles
Impetigo
Cellulitis
Abscesses (not dental)
Boils
Infected Eczema
Infected insect bites

In addition to infections we can also help manage a range of more chronic and acute skin conditions such as:

NHS Smoking Cessation

20 mins··Free

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.

NHS Sore Throat Test and Treat (6 years and over)

20 mins··Free

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.

NHS Urinary Tract Infection Service (16-64 years of ago)

20 mins··Free

*FEMALE ONLY SERVICE*

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect your urinary tract, including your bladder (cystitis), urethra or kidneys. UTIs may be treated with antibiotics, but they are NOT always needed.

This is an NHS funded service and is available to non-pregnant women aged 16 to 64 and may involve a urine test.

If you have symptoms of a UTI, such as burning pain when urinating, needing to urinate more often or have cloudy urine - you could receive antibiotics without the need for an appointment with your GP. If this is a regular problem, you are diabetic or are post-menopausal you may need to be referred to a GP.

If you are a male, outside the ages of 16-64, have recurrent UTIs, are pregnant, diabetic or think you may have a kidney infection, try this service instead.

I arrived 5 minutes before my appointment. the receptionist welcomed me and asked that I sat to wait. Within minutes the pharmacist finished with a previous patient and I was seen straight away. After completing a few identity checks, i received my flu injection and I was out within minutes. I did not feel a thing and it is still ok. All the staff were helpful and friendly. Excellent service.
