Our phones are currently unavailable (Tuesday 5th May). The issue is with the phone provider and they are working to fix it. There is no time estimate provided unfortunately. Our sincere apologies for this but unfortunately is out of our control.

Easter Sunday is two weeks today 🐥
Please check your supplies this week and check you have three weeks worth and if not get it ordered via your normal method ✅
We will be closed Good Friday and Easter Monday. Normal opening hours otherwise.

Be a good egg - order and essential medications you're running low on in good time before the Easter bank holiday weekend.

Many GP surgeries require at least 3 working days to process repeat prescriptions so hop to it to make sure you're covered.

Today we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice made by members of our Armed Forces.

Their commitment to protecting and serving our communities will forever be remembered with gratitude, and their legacy of courage continues to inspire us all.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them 💙

Bit late posting this im afraid as it’s crept up! This coming Monday (25th) we will be closed for the August bank holiday. Please check you have enough medication to see you through to Tuesday. If you haven’t please call us on 823149 so we can help get that sorted for you. There are a lot of prescriptions that need collecting ready on the shelves!

The pharmacy is still extremely busy due to the ongoing situation at Rose Green so both phone queue time and serving queues may be long. We will do our very best to get to you as quickly as possible.

We really do appreciate everyone who has been patient and kind throughout. Thank you
