Residents are being reminded that an independent prescriber will be available at M&D Green Pharmacy on Friday, 2 January, offering local access to timely clinical advice and treatment at the start of the new year.
The service enables patients to consult directly with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess conditions, provide clinical advice, and prescribe medication where appropriate, without the need for a GP appointment. This can be particularly helpful during the winter period, when demand for GP services is traditionally high.
M&D Green Pharmacy has encouraged members of the community to make use of the service for a range of minor illnesses and ongoing health concerns, helping to ease pressure on local GP surgeries and urgent care services. Conditions commonly supported by independent prescribers can include infections, skin conditions, respiratory issues and medication reviews, depending on individual assessment.
A spokesperson for the pharmacy said the availability of an independent prescriber reflects a continued commitment to accessible, community-based healthcare. “Pharmacies are often the first point of contact for patients. Having an independent prescriber on site on the 2nd January means people can receive safe, professional care quickly and close to home during the festive break.”
The service is expected to be popular, particularly following the holiday period. Patients are advised that no appointment is necessary and to pop in speak to the pharmacy team for advice and support.
M&D Green Pharmacy continues to play a vital role as a healthcare hub in the local area, providing not only dispensing services but also expanded clinical support to meet the needs of the community.
