Today marks 40 years in business for Fairmans Pharmacy. We wanted to say a huge thank you to our local communities for supporting our local business, our Fairmans team and wider family for always going above and beyond for the communities they work in and everyone who goes out of their way to support local businesses. Fairmans couldn’t exist without you!

This social media manager (and eldest daughter) is so proud of what Chris, Julie, Lucy and the Fairmans team have achieved.

As always, thanks for supporting your local Fairmans! We look forward to keeping your communities healthy for years to come.

Having diabetes increases your risk of developing eye problems. Retinopathy often has no symptoms in its earliest stages. By the time you recognise changes in your vision the disease can be advanced. If left undetected it can lead to sight loss and blindness. Regular eye screenings can detect diabetic retinopathy early to prevent progression.

The NHS recommend patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes who are 12+ years get eye screenings every 1-2 years. If you are diabetic and notice any changes in your vision it is important to seek medical care immediately.

If you're prescribed medication for a long-term condition for the first time, you may be eligible for the free New Medicine Service (NMS) scheme.

One of our trained Pharmacists will support you over several weeks to ensure safe and correct usage of the medication and be there to discuss any concerns or issues you may have so that you can get the best out of your medication and take charge of your health.

When you pick up your new prescription at your local Fairmans, ask the pharmacist if you can take part in the new medicine service. Available at all of our branches.
