Dear patients,

We would like to inform you all that from this coming Monday (17th November), Castlegate Pharmacy will be moving to 4 Well Close Square, located to the left of Well Close Surgery.

The reason for this move is that the current premises lease was expiring, so a relocation was inevitable.

Don’t worry, nothing else changes; we still have the same owner, the same team, and the same smiling faces to greet you all 😀

We will also be keeping the same telephone number, 01289 306827, and will be keeping the same opening times too.

For those who feel that the new premises is further to travel to, don’t worry and give us a call. We would be more than happy to add you to our free delivery service 🚚

We hope you all have a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing you all at our new home in Well Close Square from next week.

Over the coming months you’ll notice we are changing our urine samples containers.
We are still able to accept the old sample bottles until 1st January 2026.

Yellow topped samples will be used for ACRs and Green topped samples will be given for UTIs.
All sample bags given out should contain a form to record your name and DOB, a step by step instruction flyer, a straw, container & a cup.

This is a work in progress for us all so please bear with us while we also get used to the changes.

Find below, a useful self help video or any other questions please contact the surgery or ask while collecting your sample containers from reception.

Stay safe this Bonfire Night.
Fireworks, sparklers and bonfires can be great fun for families and friends, but they also carry risks. Every year, hospitals across the country treat people with burns, eye damage and other injuries that could have been avoided with a little extra care.

You’ll find information via the NHS website on how to treat burns and scalds 🔗https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/burns-and-scalds/

If you do need advice, contact 111 or attend A&E
