Signposting & support
One of the essential services a pharmacy has to fulfil is the provision of information to people visiting the pharmacy, who require further support, advice or treatment which cannot be provided by the pharmacy, on other health and social care providers or support organisations who may be able to assist the person.
Our team in the shop will be more than happy to inform and advise you, but we have put together a list of links that you might find helpful:
