Today marks 7 years since we accepted the call to serve Elmswell and the surrounding villages here in beautiful Suffolk.

It hasn’t always been easy—there have been plenty of challenges along the way—but it’s been an incredible journey. We’ve had the honour of meeting some truly amazing people, and it continues to be a blessing to serve this vibrant and caring community.

We’re not perfect, but every day we strive to give our very best. 💪

This post is simply to say: THANK YOU.
To every one of you who’s supported us, encouraged us, and walked with us—we appreciate you more than words can say. 🙏

Here’s to the journey so far, and to continuing this work with heart and purpose. 💙

🚨 Lions Message in a Bottle Now Available at Station Pharmacy Elmswell 🚨

We’re proud to now offer Lions Message in a Bottle. This is a simple, free, and potentially life saving scheme recognised by paramedics, firefighters, police, and social services across the UK.

Each bottle comes with:
✅ A pre-printed form to fill in your essential medical and emergency details
✅ Two green cross stickers to alert emergency services
✅ Clear instructions on how to use it

💚 How it works:
1️⃣ Pop into the pharmacy and with the help of our kind and friendly staff, fill in the form with your name, medical conditions, medications, allergies, emergency contacts, etc.
2️⃣ Place the form in the bottle and store it in your fridge.
3️⃣ Put one green cross sticker on the fridge door and the other on the inside of your front door.
4️⃣ In an emergency, first responders know to look for this bottle if they see a sticker on your fridge, giving them immediate access to critical information that can save time and lives.

If more than one person lives in your household, both can complete a form and store them in the same bottle.

This can help hospital staff quickly understand your needs and provide the right care faster.

Free to all! pop in and pick up your bottle today!

🌟 Alcohol Awareness Week | 7th–13th July 2025 🌟

Here at Station Pharmacy, we’re proud to support Alcohol Awareness Week a chance to open up honest conversations about drinking, how it affects our health, and what support is out there.

🍻 Many of us enjoy a drink now and then, but it’s easy to lose track of how much we’re actually drinking. This week is all about understanding alcohol harm and how small changes can make a big difference to your wellbeing.

⸻

🧠 Did you know?

✅ Drinking regularly can affect your sleep, mood, blood pressure, and liver health.
✅ The recommended limit is no more than 14 units per week – spread over several days.
✅ Cutting down can help you feel more energetic, sleep better, and lower your long-term health risks.

⸻

💙 We’re here for you.

Whether you’re thinking about cutting down, worried about a loved one, or just want to know more – our pharmacy team is here to help. We offer friendly, private, and confidential support with no judgment.
