Service to the Patient
The Village Street Pharmacy has been established as your local pharmacy, in Village Street, for 15 years. However, in February of 2007 they moved into the brand new, purpose-built Village Medical Centre in Browning Street.
The pharmacists have been trained to offer helpful, easy-to-understand advice on the treatment of everyday minor ailments for all the family - anything from headaches and coughs and colds to cold sores and dermatitis. Your pharmacist will know when medical help is needed and will not hesitate to refer you to your doctor if your symptoms demand it. However, often an over-the-counter remedy will be all you need, and pharmacies offer far more medicines than any other outlets.
The Village Street Pharmacy pride themselves on a top quality personal service and all the advice they give is in the strictest confidence.
As a further service  to the community they are able to offer a daily prescription delivery service, primarily to elderly and housebound patients. At a prompt from the patient they will order the prescription from the surgery, make up the prescription and then deliver it direct to the patient’s home.
Both pharmacists at Village Street Pharmacy have completed a four-year degree course and are members of The Royal Pharmaceutical Society. They are proud of their mission statement which is: Service to the patient.
Make the most of your Pharmacist...
...for dispensed medicines
The pharmacy is where you go for medicines and for
the pharmacist's advice on how to take them. Pharmacists are trusted health professionals
whose job is to help people to get the best out of their medicines. They know
exactly what's in your medicine and will be happy to answer any questions. You
can be sure that your pharmacist will see that your medicine is at the right
strength, in the right dose and will check that you know how to take or use it
properly. They will also cross reference any other drugs you are currently taking.
Many pharmacists now offer a prescription collection and delivery service.
...for
minor ailments
If you're feeling off-colour, but don't feel ill enough to go to
the doctor, ask your pharmacist for advice. Pharmacists have been trained to
offer helpful, easy-to-understand advice on the treatment of everyday minor ailments
for yourself and all the family, anything from headaches and coughs and colds,
to cold sores or dermatitis.
Your pharmacist will know when medical help is needed, and will not hesitate
to refer you to your doctor if your symptoms demand it. Often, however, an over-the-counter
remedy will be all you need, and it's worth remembering that pharmacies offer
far more medicines than any other outlets. That's because many of today's
effective non-prescription medicines can only be supplied under the supervision
of a pharmacist, which means they are only available at a pharmacy. Remember,
too, that you can talk to your pharmacist in confidence, even about the most
personal symptoms. Like doctors, pharmacists have a professional code which means
all personal information you give them will be treated in the strictest confidence.
All the more reason to make the most of your local pharmacist!
