Sore throats in winter
Most sore throats ease with rest, fluids, and simple pain relief used as directed. Come in if you have trouble swallowing, a rash, or symptoms that last beyond a few days. Pharmacy First may cover an assessment.
Counter advice
Short notes from the pharmacy team. These are general reminders, not a diagnosis. Ask us in store if a symptom is new, severe, or not settling.
Knowing your blood pressure
A single high reading is a prompt, not a label. Sit quietly, keep both feet on the floor, and let us repeat the check. We will explain when to share the result with your GP.
Plan travel health early
Some vaccines need more than one visit. Tell us your departure date as soon as tickets are booked so malaria tablets and vaccines can be timed properly.
Return unused medicines
Do not put leftover medicines in household waste or down the sink. Bring them to the pharmacy for safe disposal. This also supports our Net Zero commitment.
