Clare Pharmacy

Suffolk pharmaceutical needs assessment public questionnaire Your views will help inform our Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) which will look at health needs in Suffolk, the level and accessibility of pharmacy services, and how these will be maintained and developed in the future.

In England:
1,500 community pharmacies have closed in the last decade
7 pharmacies are closing a week, and
Three quarters of pharmacies are in the red.

Pharmacies are the heart of communities and support people – particularly the vulnerable – in so many ways. We cannot afford to lose them.

Bring this to the attention of our new Government before it is too late!

Its that time again! Your Government has decided to tax you again if you are ill. The cost of your medication if you have to pay is increasing to:-
- £9.90 per item
- £19.80 for a year HRT PPC
- £32.05 for a 3 month PPC
- £114.50 for a 12month PPC
This does not go to the pharmacy, all of this TAX goes to the your Government. I'm not sure what they use it for, but it does not go to fund pharmacy and all the things we do.......

When did you last have your Blood Pressure taken?

Clare Pharmacy can offer NHS funded Blood Pressure readings if you are over 40 years old and you aren't diagnosed or being treated for blood pressure. We will take your blood pressure and then help you understand what it all means.

Just pop in and ask....

Thursday Night, on ...

reports on a possible pharmacy crisis as estimates imply that an average of eight close a week and that they are at their lowest number since 2015.

Pharmacies: The New NHS Frontline? is on ITV, Thursday Night, at 8:30pm

Get involved by using the hashtag

Pharmacy in Crisis - on ITV’s Tonight programme, Thursday 11 Jan 8.30pm.

Pharmacies see around 1.6 million people a day, but it is estimated that an average of eight are closing a week and they are at their lowest number since 2015. Meanwhile, demand is rising and they are being asked to do more by the Government to take pressure off a stretched NHS. So is the pharmacy sector in crisis, and what does the future hold for these cornerstones of the community?

(This may explain why I seem to lurch from crisis to crisis....😉)

Don’t forget to pick up your medication!

You don’t want to be the person who comes in the pharmacy on Saturday saying ‘I take medication to keep me alive and I must take it everyday….. and I’ve run out’

We’re here to help! But but it would be good if you could make our lives easier.
Thanks. Every Pharmacy.
