Pharmacy check-ups

Oldham’s pharmacies will be getting their own health checks over the next few months to make sure they meet local needs.

NHS Oldham will be looking at community-based pharmacies and wants the public to have its say about their services via a website survey.

It is asking what times pharmacies should open, if they are easy to get to and what else is needed.

The survey is on www.oldham.nhs.uk  until September 30.

Shauna Dixon, director of clinical leadership at NHS Oldham, said: “We want to make sure that everyone has access to the health services they need, so this is a great opportunity for us to check that this is the case.

Anyone without a computer can contact Andrew Mulholland, public health specialist at NHS Oldham, on 0161-622 4279 and ask for a paper copy and Freepost envelope.
