More Than Your Local Pharmacy: Healthcare Services at Raylane Pharmacy Group

When you think of your local pharmacy, collecting a prescription may be the first thing that comes to mind. But modern pharmacy healthcare services can offer much more.

At Raylane Pharmacy Group, our teams provide a wide range of healthcare services designed to make getting advice, treatment and ongoing support simpler and more convenient. From NHS services and everyday health advice to travel vaccinations, private healthcare and weight management, help could be closer than you think.

Could Your Pharmacy Save You a Trip to the GP?

For certain common conditions, your community pharmacy may be able to provide advice and treatment without you needing to visit your GP first.

Through NHS Pharmacy First, eligible patients can receive assessment and, where appropriate, treatment for seven common conditions:

• Sinusitis
• Sore throat
• Earache in children
• Infected insect bites
• Impetigo
• Shingles
• Uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women

Eligibility and treatment depend on factors such as your symptoms, age and clinical assessment. If your condition needs further investigation or treatment, the pharmacy team can advise you on the appropriate next step.

NHS & Community Pharmacy Services

Our pharmacies provide everyday support to help you manage your health and medicines.

Services available across Raylane Pharmacy Group may include NHS Pharmacy First, repeat prescriptions, medication support and advice, NHS vaccinations where available, disposal of unwanted medicines and general everyday health advice.

Your pharmacist is a qualified healthcare professional who can provide confidential advice and help you understand when you may need additional medical support.

Travel Health Services

Planning a trip abroad? Looking after your health before you travel can be just as important as organising your passport and accommodation.

Our travel health services can include travel vaccinations, destination-specific health advice, malaria prevention, travel health risk assessments and pre-travel consultations.

Speaking to the pharmacy team well before your departure can give you time to determine which vaccinations or preventative measures may be appropriate for your destination and circumstances.

Private Healthcare Services

Pharmacies can also provide convenient access to a growing range of private healthcare services.

Depending on the Raylane Pharmacy location, these may include private blood tests, men’s and women’s health testing, wellness and performance testing, microsuction ear wax removal, and private consultations and follow-ups.

These services can provide another convenient option for accessing professional healthcare advice within your local community.

Weight Management Support

Managing your weight can involve much more than simply changing what you eat. Professional guidance can help you develop an approach appropriate to your circumstances and health goals.

Raylane Pharmacy Group’s weight management services may include clinician-led weight management, personalised treatment plans, prescription weight-loss options where clinically appropriate, ongoing professional support and convenient online services.

Any prescription treatment is subject to a clinical assessment to determine whether it is suitable for the individual.
