New Local Pharmacy


Co-operative pharmacy is to open a 100 hour pharmacy in the Annexe building at Helme Chase Surgery (James Cochrane Practice).   Open to any member of the public for dispensing of NHS prescriptions and purchase of 'over the counter' medicines. The dispensary counter for dispensing patients at the practice  will be relocated and accessed via the Co-op, but only during practice hours.

The provisional completion date for these changes and the opening of the Co-operative is 17th September.This new facility will be open at least 100 hours each week, and extend access to pharmacy services in evenings and at weekends for local residents.  

ASDA pharmacy is also open each week (8am-9pm Mon-Sat and 10-4 on Sun).
