Thank you to everyone in the Coniston community using our pharmacy for dispensing and other services. The pharmacy team have worked really hard to make the changeover as smooth as possible. Thanks for all your support in this.
Here are a few tips which will continue to make everything work well for you.
📲 Did you know we can offer a free text message service when prescriptions are ready to collect? Just let us know your mobile number next time you speak to us.
💊 When collecting, we carry out some checks to make sure the right person gets the right thing. If you have a text message collection code, this will help. We will also ask you to check your own bag label and encourage you to check contents before leaving the pharmacy.
🙋♀️🙋♂️If you can’t collect, it is OK for family or friends to do this on your behalf. Where this isn’t possible and you have urgent medicines, let us know and we will try to help.
📆 Plan ahead to place your prescription requests, especially if you need deliveries. This will be more important as we get into the winter months when bad weather can affect collection and delivery. We suggest keeping a weeks medication in hand.
🅿️ Parking can be an issue in Hawkshead. For quick “in and out” collections there are a small number of spaces around the squares and very limited space in front of the pharmacy.
There are five free 30-minute stay spaces in the main car park. They are in the top corner to the left of the craft shop and near the houses.
On Saturdays and school holidays there is parking at the primary school. Please make a donation to the school if you use this.
🚌 Quite a few people are using the bus for a trip out. You can pick up your prescription and enjoy a look around Hawkshead shops and cafes, heading back on the next bus
🚛 We do deliveries mainly for people who are housebound or who have difficulty collecting. We are working on ways to give you a more exact time when delivery will be made. Watch this space!
If you need deliveries, please let us know.
