We dispense NHS prescriptions and will give advice on how to get the most benefit from your medicines. We keep a comprehensive stock of medicines and use a fast and an efficient wholesaler service to enable us to fill all prescriptions promptly.

Belgrave Pharmacy offers the NHS Electronic Prescription Service, which allows you to choose or “nominate” our pharmacy to get your medicines or appliances from. Your GP then sends your prescription electronically to the place you have nominated, this means:

If you collect your repeat prescriptions from your GP you will not have to visit your GP practice to pick up your paper prescription, saving you time.

You can “nominate” our pharmacy by calling in today or completing the “nomination form”

We can dispense NHS repeat dispensing prescriptions issued by your doctor. Ask us for more information about this service.

All medicines are dispensed in child resistant containers unless you ask us not to. Please remember: keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children.  Our pharmacist can advise you on safe storage of medicines.

Please return all unwanted medicines to the pharmacy where we will dispose of them safely.

Our Pharmacist and highly trained staff are available for advice on all medicines and minor ailments, in private if required. We can also give you advice on how to live a healthy life, for example, advice on how to stop smoking or healthy diets. We can direct you to other sources of advice and assistance if we cannot help you ourselves.

This is a medicine check-up service, which is useful if you regularly take several prescription medicines or are on medicines for a long-term illness. This confidential NHS service will help you to find out more about your medicines, identify any problems you may be having with them and help you to take your medicines to best effect.

When you are prescribed a medicine to treat a long-term condition for the first time, the pharmacist will support you to use the medicine safely and to best effect. The pharmacist will talk to you approximately two weeks after you first receive the medicine to see how you are getting on with it and to discuss any problems you may have. A second follow-up will be a month after you first receive the medicine. The service is only available to people using certain medicines; our pharmacist will give you details and offer this free NHS service, if this is available to you.

This pharmacy enhanced service is available to those who are considering quitting smoking. It involves providing advice, treatment plans and support from qualified pharmacy staff with the sole purpose of helping you quit smoking. Contact Belgrave Pharmacy today for more information on how to STOP smoking TODAY!

Our computer allows us to keep records of all your prescriptions dispensed by us. This helps us check for possible problems, such as reactions between medicines and will help us deal with any queries you may have. We comply with the Data Protection Act and the NHS code of practice on confidentiality. If you want to discuss the records we keep, please ask to speak to the pharmacist..
