We dispense both NHS and Private prescriptions and can supply monitored dosage systems and/or medicine reminder charts for residential homes and for patients in the community who find it difficult to remember what medication to take when.
Our computerised systems store your medication record allowing us to advise you on suitable over the counter medication and to check for any potential drug interactions.
We offer a repeat prescription collection service from local doctors surgeries. Once you have ordered your repeat prescription and it has been prepared and signed by your doctor, we can collect it from the surgery and dispense it ready for you to pick up at your convenience. (please allow at least three working days for your surgery to complete the prescription and to pass it on to us).
To use this service and the new electronic prescription service, you will need to nominate the pharmacy where you wish to collect your prescription medicines. Please call in and complete a registration form.
If you are housebound through age or illness, or your prescription is especially heavy or bulky, we run a FREE home delivery service every afternoon, Monday to Friday.
We offer a free medicine use review service, conducted in our private consultation rooms, where you may discuss with a pharmacist how best to use your prescribed and non-prescribed medicines.
We can offer this service FREE of CHARGE under the direction of Cumbria Primary Care Trust. The service is completely confidential and all interviews are conducted by a pharmacist in a private consultation room.
Our pharmacists offer free advice on any medical matter and will try to help in anyway they can either, by advising you on a treatment or a product to buy or by referring you to your GP or signpost you to another appropriate service.
We stock a wide range of prescribable equipment for urinary incontinence and stoma care, and can obtain more unusual products from a wide range of specialist suppliers.
We have a wide range of homeopathic remedies from Freemans in Glasgow and Weleda in stock, and can usually obtain more obscure remedies in a range of potencies from them within two working days.
Our staff are trained to measure and supply a wide range of surgical supports.
We stock, service and supply Accu-Check blood testing machines and have a demonstration machine which we can use to both demonstrate to potential buyers and to test anyone's blood glucose level if they are concerned at all about having diabetes.
There is no need to make an appointment for this service but do bear in mind that we do get very busy and you may have to wait. All that we do is prick your finger, using a specially designed virtually pain-free device, then place a drop of blood onto a testing strip over a sensor which detects the amount of glucose in the blood. The reading comes up a few seconds later and if it is particularly low or high we will advise you to visit your GP so more sophisticated tests can be carried out to establish whether you are diabetic or not.
Early detection of diabetes can help to avoid a whole range of diabetic related health problems.
We can supply a wide range of gluten free foods from Juvela and Glutafin, as well as other manufacturers, which are available to purchase or on prescription.
Our counter staff and pharmacists can advise on a range of products you can buy over the counter to relieve any symptoms you have.
