Services
Pharmacy Plus offers a very comprehensive NHS services. We operate unique dispensing processes using barcode technology in order to minimise dispensing errors and mistakes. All processes are managed under specially established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and our staff are trained accordingly
NHS & Private Prescriptions
We dispense all types of NHS prescriptions and aim to give advice and guidance on how best to take medicines. We are also able to dispense private prescriptions when required.
Dispensing for Special Needs
In accordance the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) we aim to offer support to those who are in need. Where required we provide medication in easy open bottles or in weekly medication packs. Residents in Care Homes receive their dispensing via our Monitored Dosage System which is designed to help Nurses and Carers manage medication.
Patient Medication Records
We hold records of every prescription and dispensing transactions. We also hold appropriate personal details of patients we dispense for. Consent is provided under contract with the Care Home or individually by the patient. All information held is for the exclusive use of Pharmacy Plus and is never made available to any third party
Unwanted Medicines
We operate a collection service of medicines from Care Homes. Patients in the community may also take unwanted medicines to one of our branches. All unwanted medication is disposed of in accordance with legislation and good practice guidelines.
Medicine Use Reviews
We offer medication reviews to patients as required. Care Home residents receive reviews as part of our standard range of services. Patients in the community may visit one of our branches to receive a Medicines Use Review where our pharmacist will be pleased to help.
Repeat Dispensing
We operate the Repeat Dispensing program used by many surgeries. Our systems allow us to hold each issue and release it on a timely basis. We communicate with surgeries when required about discontinued items or changes to therapy
Health Awareness & Self Care
Our pharmacists and staff are available to answer any questions on healthier lifestyles. We can recommend resources and guidance on how you can take care of your own health or that of your residents. We are also able to sell equipment and diagnostic kits to allow you to monitor your own health.
Emergency Supplies
Under the terms of the RPSGB guidelines we are able to supply short term supplies for critical medicines in the event that you run out. Emergency Supplies are made at the discretion of the pharmacist and can only be done when the patient is known to us. For further information, please contact our pharmacist.
