Private Services

We have grown our private service offering considerably over the past few years and it has helped patients receive prompt and effective treatment they would have otherwise struggled to receive.  Unsurprisingly, we are getting busier with these and other services and in most cases an appointment is required.

Weight Management Clinic

Our private weight management service offers medically supervised treatment mainly using Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) — a prescription-only injection designed to support sustainable weight loss and long-term weight maintenance. We also use Wegovy (semaglutaide) when appropriate. The service is available to adults with a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a weight-related condition. Treatment is combined with professional dietary, lifestyle, and behavioural support to promote lasting results. These medications work by improving blood sugar control and reducing appetite, helping clients achieve healthier weight goals through safe, evidence-based care

Ear Infection Service

Ear Examination Close-up

Our private ear infection service offers rapid assessment and treatment for otitis externa (outer ear infection). For a non-refundable £10 consultation, our pharmacist will examine your ears and determine the best course of care. If suitable, a combined antibiotic and steroid ear spray (Otomize®) may be recommended for an additional £5. This clinically approved treatment helps reduce pain, swelling, and infection quickly and allows us to treat patients who don't qualify for our NHS Pharmacy First service because they are too old. The service is delivered by our qualified pharmacist, ensuring prompt, safe and effective management of uncomplicated otitis externa.

Private Services

What we do

Our private services have grown considerably over the past few years and they continue to grow to keep in line with what our patients are looking for from us.  Whether it's travel vaccinations, antimalarials, weight management clinics or a Yellow Fever exemption certificate we have you covered.

These services are obviously chargeable, but are a vital addition to our core services both for the viability of our pharmacy as a business and to meet our patients needs.

Who we are and what we do

Need your prescription dispensed?  We can do that for you and carry a large stock so in most cases we can fulfil your prescription right away. 

Require a vaccination for a holiday, work or just to protect yourself?  We can do that too.  We offer NHS vaccinations for both flu and COVID on a seasonal basis as well as travel, occupational and general wellbeing vaccinations on a private basis.

We also offer other NHS and private professional services to help you access medication and advice in a timely manner.

On top of all this we also excel when it comes to retail therapy, stocking beautiful gifts from quality manufacturers.
