Emergency supply enhanced Health Information

The purpose of the Emergency Supply Service is to ensure that you can access an urgent supply of your regular prescription medicines where you are unable to obtain a prescription before you need to take your next dose. The service may be needed because you have out of a medicine, or because you have lost or damaged your medicines, or because they have left home without them.

Our pharmacists and trained members of the pharmacy team will give you advice and provide medicine if needed. They may need to refer you to another healthcare professional such as your GP practice, dentist, optometrist or another NHS service if they feel your condition needs further investigation or more specialist care.

Medicine Disposal Medicines Use Reviews

If you have any medicines that you no longer use, you can take them to your local pharmacy and we will dispose of them safely. You should never dispose of your old medication by yourself at home, as it could be dangerous. If you throw your unwanted medication into the bin, then it could be found by children or pets who could eat it and make themselves sick. If you try to flush your unwanted medicine down the toilet or empty it into a drain then it could be harmful to the environment, so it�s just a bad idea no matter what you try! Do the right thing, do the safe thing, and give your unwanted medication to a pharmacist so they can get rid of it properly.

Medicines Use Reviews (MURs) involve the pharmacist conducting a structured review with you about your medicines and their use. This is to help you to improve your knowledge, concordance and use of your medicines. The review is carried out in our private consultation room. This is a great way for you to talk to a medical professional about any questions or concerns you might have with your medication.

Our pharmacists can assist you by offering advice and where appropriate medicines and/or appliances without the need to visit the GP practice. Providing advice to you gives us the opportunity to deliver a greater service, including the management of future minor ailments.

This service is provided access to sterile needles and syringes, and a sharps container for the return of used equipment. It also promotes safe injecting practice, reduces transmission of infections and acts as a gateway to other services.
