Service Description

Our Private Hair Loss Treatment Service offers a safe, convenient, and clinically governed way for men to access effective treatment for male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Delivered by our qualified pharmacist, we can supply Finasteride 1 mg tablets (Propecia®) without the need for a GP appointment. What we offer: Finasteride 1 mg is a prescription-only medicine that helps increase hair growth and prevent further hair loss in men aged 18 and over. It works by reducing levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair follicle shrinkage. Treatment is taken once daily, with or without food. Noticeable benefits typically appear after 3–6 months of continuous use, with ongoing treatment recommended to maintain results. Our process: Confidential consultation – A trained pharmacist will assess your suitability through a short medical questionnaire or private discussion. Personalised advice – You’ll receive tailored information about how the medicine works, how to take it, and possible side effects. Safe supply – If suitable, a 28-day supply of Finasteride 1 mg tablets will be provided in-store on the day of your consultation and after shorter future consultations going forward. Follow-up and monitoring – Our clinicians will review treatment effectiveness and tolerance regularly to ensure it remains right for you. Safety and standards: This service is only provided by registered healthcare professionals who meet all training, competency, and clinical governance standards required by law. Finasteride is not suitable for women or men under 18, and certain health conditions or medications may mean this treatment isn’t appropriate. All consultations and records are handled confidentially in accordance with NHS data standards. Regain your confidence with expert pharmacy care and evidence-based treatment—no GP delay, no hassle, just professional support for your hair health.

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.
