A concise overview of pharmacy services available from The Clocktower Pharmacy for local patients.
Working alongside local care
The Clocktower Pharmacy provides NHS and private pharmacy services from 38 Burscough Street, Ormskirk. Information below is for healthcare professionals considering appropriate pharmacy routes for patients; availability and clinical suitability remain subject to current service criteria and pharmacist assessment.
Hypertension case finding
Eligible patients may access blood pressure checks through the pharmacy where the service is currently available and appropriate.
Oral contraception and emergency contraception
The pharmacy can discuss contraception support and emergency contraception. Patients are assessed individually, and referral may be needed where another service is more appropriate.
New Medicine Service
Eligible patients starting a new medicine for a long-term condition may be supported through the NHS New Medicine Service where criteria are met.
Vaccinations and travel health
Vaccination and travel-health appointments are assessment-led. Patients should be directed to book or call to discuss their needs, particularly where timing before travel matters.
Private pharmacist appointments
Private pharmacist appointments are available for selected concerns. They are not a substitute for emergency, urgent or ongoing GP care; advice, treatment, supply and onward referral depend on assessment.
