The NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) launched on 29th October 2019 as an Advanced Service. The service, which replaced the NUMSAS and DMIRS pilots, connects patients who have a minor illness or need an urgent supply of a medicine with a community pharmacy.

If you have out of date or unwanted medicines, both prescription or over the counter drugs, don’t bin them or flush them. You can take your unwanted or out of date medicines back to your pharmacy for safe disposal, and it’s completely FREE. Each year enormous quantities of unused and expired medications are dumped into bins or flushed down toilets and sinks. The effects on the environment and human health are unclear but evidence is pointing to the presence of chemicals from prescriptions and over-the-counter medications in soil, drinking water and the surrounding environment. Just as proper medication administration is important, so is safe and cautious disposal.

The pharmacist and our trained assistants are available for advice on all medicines and minor ailments, in private if required. We can also give you advice on how to live a healthy life, for example, advice on how to stop smoking, or healthy diets. We can direct you to other sources of advice and assistance if we cannot help you ourselves.

This month is Dry January. Join the four million going dry this January. For further information visit DRYJANUARY.ORG.UK or you can download the Dry January app.

When you are prescribed a medicine to treat a long-term condition for the first time, our pharmacist will support you to use the medicine safely and to best effect. Our pharmacist will talk to you approximately 2 weeks after you first receive the medicine to see how you are getting on with it and to discuss any problems you may have. A second follow-up will be a month after you first receive the medicine. This service is only available to people using certain medicines. If you are eligible, our pharmacist will give you details and offer this free NHS service to you.

We dispense private prescriptions issued by your Doctor or Dentist . We offer competitive pricing on all private prescription medication.
