NORTH Tawton Pharmacy is to move from 1 Exeter Street, North Tawton to The Square in North Tawton, next month.

It will start trading from the new premises, the former NatWest Bank building, from Monday, November 7.

Fiona Mullins, director of Wringtons Limited, said: “We are very excited that we are moving North Tawton Pharmacy to a few doors down from our current premises to the old Natwest Bank building on The Square, North Tawton.

“The building has been renovated to provide:

• Much easier access - no more step to contend with!

• Bespoke dispensary to enable us to have the space to work more efficiently

• Private consultation room from which we can provide healthcare services such as medication use reviews, smoking cessation and blood pressure monitoring to name a few.

• Retail area which contains a selection of toiletries, make up and gifts.”

She added: “These are difficult times for pharmacies across the country. The government is proposing efficiency drives and cuts to the pharmacy budget which could significantly impact pharmacy provision across England.

“Therefore we want to ensure we are best placed to withstand these uncertain times and deliver an efficient pharmacy service to meet the ever-growing needs of the NHS.

“Most importantly we believe that moving the pharmacy into new premises will help us to deliver a modernised pharmacy service to the community we serve.”

She concluded: “By supporting your local pharmacy it ensures it will be there for the years to come.

“We hugely value the continued support of all of our customers and the town of North Tawton.

“Please feel free to drop by and see us. Orla (Pharmacist), Ann (Shop Supervisor) and the rest of the pharmacy team very much look forward to welcoming you!”

A ceremony will be held at North Tawton Pharmacy to officially open the new premises on November 7.

Wringtons Limited operate four pharmacies across the South of England.?
