We usually do this by keeping in contact with you during the first 4 weeks of your new medicine is prescribed.

NHS Discharge Medicines Service (DMS)
The NHS Discharge Medicines Service is a new essential service for community pharmacy commencing on 15 February 2021. The service has been established to ensure better communication of changes to a patient’s medication when they leave the hospital and to reduce incidences of avoidable harm caused by medicines. By referring patients to the community pharmacy on discharge with information about medication changes made in the hospital, community pharmacy can support patients to improve outcomes, prevent harm and reduce readmissions.
NHS Supervised Consumption Of Medicines
You come into the pharmacy at certain times in line with your prescription. There, you will take your medication under the supervision of our pharmacists.
The service aims to support and enable the recovery of the patients. So, we will always treat you in a friendly, non-judgmental and confidential manner. We are here to help you get better. We can provide support and advice and, if necessary, refer you to other specialist centres that may be able to help you further.
We can provide a supervised consumption service, usually in the private consultation room in the pharmacy.
Weight Management
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight proves to be one of the most difficult challenges faced by all of us today. Being overweight and the complications associated with excess weight is a growing concern that is becoming more prominent. Currently, in the UK, 63% of adults are classed as either overweight or obese.
It is widely understood that carrying excess body fat can lead to serious health complications such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Obesity is also one of the leading causes of preventable cancers in the UK contributing to one in 20 of all cases.
Here at Buckden Pharmacy, we understand that each customer’s weight management journey is personal, that is why we provide a wide range of products that can help you lose excess fat the right way. Losing weight is not easy for anyone but setting goals that are both achievable and sustainable is the best way towards a healthier and happier lifestyle.
It’s no secret that a balanced, nutritious diet along with regular exercise is the safest way to lose weight and to keep it off long-term. But if you’re obese, you may need more help than this.
If appropriate, our pharmacist may be able to offer you clinically proven medication to help you lose weight, making sure it is suitable for you and your particular needs, and that it does not interact with other medicines you may already be taking. If the pharmacist identifies any extra medical issues, you will always be referred back to your GP.
Over The Counter/ Minor Ailment Treatment
We can supply medicines for common ailments to you without you having to make an appointment to see your GP.
Our pharmacist can save you a trip to the doctor for common ailments like coughs and colds, head lice, headache, diarrhoea, hay fever, indigestion, thrush, sore throat, haemorrhoids, constipation, threadworm, athlete’s foot, mouth ulcers, insect bites, nappy rash and many others.
NHS Community Pharmacy Consultation Scheme (CPCS)
The NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service launched on 29th October 2019 as an Advanced Service. Under this service, you can be referred by NHS 111 to our pharmacy to obtain your prescription medicines which you could not have because your GP practice is close, and also for minor ailment treatment by the pharmacist.
NHS General Practice Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (GP CPCS)
Patients and the general public access community pharmacies for self-care advice and to purchase over the counter medicines. It is sometimes difficult for patients to know when it is not necessary to access GP advice. Your GP would be able to refer you to see our Pharmacist when they deem it fit. The aim is to ensure that patients have access to the same levels of care, close to home and with a self-care emphasis. Your GP would have made a judgement that it is appropriate to see our Pharmacist.
Nhs Disposal Of Unwanted Medicines
If you have out of date or unwanted medicines, both prescription or over the counter drugs, don’t bin them or flush them. You can take your unwanted or out of date medicines back to your pharmacy for safe disposal, and it’s completely FREE.
Each year enormous quantities of unused and expired medications are dumped into bins or flushed down toilets and sinks. The effects on the environment and human health are unclear but the evidence is pointing to the presence of chemicals from prescriptions and over the counter medications in soil, drinking water, and the surrounding environment. Just as proper medication administration is important, so is safe and cautious disposal.
NHS Emergency Medicines Supply
If you need one of your regular medicines in an emergency when you are unable to contact your doctor, we may be able to help. We must stress that this can only be done in genuine emergencies. It will be a private service, meaning that the pharmacist can charge for it.
Inhaler Recycling
It is estimated that 73 million inhalers are used in the UK every year. This number is only set to climb as the respiratory conditions increases. Once an inhaler has been used and there are no further doses inside, it should be recycled.
Unfortunately, many are unaware of the correct ways to discard of inhalers and subsequently, they are more likely to be disposed of in a local landfill to slowly degrade and cause environmental harm to the planet as residual gas from the canisters is slowly leaked, releasing harmful CO2 emissions that rival those of roughly 58,000 cars on the road (based on a yearly figure).
Our Inhaler Recycling policy and process
When it comes to inhaler recycling – all used inhalers should be returned to a pharmacy to be disposed of safely. Buckden Pharmacy will help with that.
Inhalers can be disposed of by the pharmacist along with other normal drugs waste. The plastic and aluminium parts of the inhaler can be used in other useful products, and any potentially dangerous greenhouse gasses can be collected to avoid releasing them into the atmosphere.
This environmentally safe disposal route is available at our pharmacy. If your inhaler is out of date or serving you no purpose, don’t let it be destined for the landfill. Take action and bring it in to be recycled at our pharmacy, we’ll be more than happy to have it recycled for you
