Do you ever forget to take your medicines or get confused with which medicines to take when? Taking your medication exactly as prescribed is vital in maximising their health benefits, which will then maintain your well-being. However, we understand it can sometimes be confusing and difficult to remember to take all your medicines as prescribed throughout the day, every day. At Pan Pharmacy, we offer a FREE blister pack solution that is tailor made for you and your individual needs. This means that all your medicines can be dispensed into one easy and manageable or pack. With this system, you will never forget or need to worry about when to take your medicines again!
We can check your blood pressure and advise you accordingly on whether you need to see your doctor for further follow-up or not.
If you have had sex without using contraception, or you think your contraception has failed, you may be able to use Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC). Every consultation is private and confidential and will be in a private consultation room. Our fully trained and accredited Pharmacist will supply EHC when appropriate to clients in line with the requirements of a locally agreed Patient Group Direction (PGD).
The PGD will specify the age range of clients that are eligible for the service; it may facilitate supply to young persons under 16 in appropriate circumstances. We will also provide support and advice to clients accessing the service, including advice on the avoidance of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) through safer sex and condom use, advice on the use of regular contraceptive methods and provide onward signposting to services that provide long-term contraceptive methods and diagnosis and management of STI’s. * Only available if commissioned in accordance with a local agreement.
We can keep your repeat medicine order slips and take them to the surgery when they require ordering. We can then collect the prescription from the surgery when its ready and even have your medicines delivered to you for FREE, saving you time, hassle and money!
We are a healthy living pharmacy and so we try to help our patients attain their lifestyle goals. Therefore we have created our own brand of vitamins and minerals called the Living Well Range. Utilise these alongside your normal diet to get an extra boost in healthcare. As always we are here to serve the community so we deliver straight to you. To find supplements in The Living Well Range.

The medicines review is there to see how you are getting on with your medication so we can see if it being effective enough for you.
The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats we have ever faced, killing more than 8 million people a year around the world. According to the NHS, in the UK alone, smoking kills over 80,000 people every year and a further 500,000 people are admitted into hospital as a direct result of smoking.
Smoking has been linked to countless conditions from depression, infertility and asthma, to the more serious conditions such as lung cancer, emphysema and heart disease. It’s really not surprising that this is the case when you consider how many harmful substances there are in a cigarette. They have thousands of different chemicals, some of which are carcinogenic (cancer causing), and examples of others being acetone (used as nail polish remover), lead and cadmium (a highly toxic metal.)
The truth of the matter is, we all know how bad smoking is for our health, and a majority of smokers will say that they want to quit but giving up can be hard. Especially without the right help and support. That’s where our friendly and professional staff come in!
There is now more support than ever before, not just in the form of information, but also products designed to reduce cravings and to fight off any of the horrible withdrawal symptoms. One of the developments has been the introduction of Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT.) There are a variety of NRT products available:
- Patches
- Gum
- Inhalators
- Mouth Sprays
- Nasal Sprays
- Tablets
- Lozenges
Smoking is addictive because of the nicotine in cigarettes. That is why it is hard to quit. By starting one or even a combination of the above therapies, they will give a smoker a dose of nicotine in their blood. This reduces the nicotine withdrawal symptoms and cravings, whilst they break away from the psychological habit of smoking.
Our staff can advise you on the best way to kick your smoking habit. By coming in to our store our trained pharmacist will provide you with a free consultation, asking you questions such as how many cigarettes you smoke in a day and what triggers the need for a cigarette etc. By determining your ‘level of nicotine addiction’ the pharmacist will then be able to offer their advice on what they think would work best for you.
The pharmacist may even offer advice in other forms, for example, letting you know about any local support groups, advising you to take up a hobby or even suggesting a routine to start you off.
The benefit of having this support is that we are there 7 days a week whenever you need help, or even just a friendly professional to speak with. It is a proven fact that if you receive support while trying to stop smoking your chance for success is greatly increased.
