Tomorrow we will have some construction onsite, so it may get a little noisey!
Unfortunately this will put our photo kiosks out of order and we are unable to use our consultation room (so no vaccines, ear piercings or blood pressure checks)

Why Your Local Pharmacy Hasn’t Been on Strike Today

Today, thousands of health workers marched for fair pay, safe staffing, and better funding.
We’d love to have been there too — but we couldn’t.

Pharmacists have to have “effective control” of our pharmacies, which means if we all joined the strike, it could be seen as collusion under competition law.

So while others took to the streets, we were behind the counter — cheering them on, dispensing medicines, and keeping our doors open.
Not because we don’t care, but because if we closed, our community would pay the price.

Community pharmacy is under real pressure, but we’re doing everything we can to stay here for you. ❤️
