Our pharmacy is not one of a chain, run by a manager who keeps
changing. It has been in business for over a hundred years and my father
worked in it eighty years ago. Cathy and myself have been running it
personally for over twenty five years.
We have a dedicated team of friendly and experienced staff who are
willing to help and advise on every aspect of healthcare needs. We participate
in all Government medical schemes and operate the Drugs Payment Scheme.
We can also help with tax refunds for prescriptions if required.
We carry an extensive range of medicines and dispense even the most
specialised of prescriptions in a prompt manner. While we concentrate on
medicines and prescriptions, we also keep an extensive range of toiletries and
cosmetics. We would like to thank all of our customers for their support over
the years and look forward to helping them in the future.
We are across the main road from the surgery and about a hundred
yards towards the city.

Boles Pharmacy
Make the most of your local pharmacist
.... For dispensed medicines
The pharmacy is where you go for medicines and for the pharmacist’s advice on how to take them. Pharmacists are
trusted health professionals whose job is to help people get the best out of their medicines. Your local pharmacist
will be able to tell you all you need to know about your prescription medicines because he - or just as likely she, as
half of all pharmacists are women - has spent years at University studying the composition and actions of drugs. So
they know exactly what’s in your medicine, and will be happy to answer any questions. They understand that it’s
only too easy to come away from the doctor’s surgery uncertain about when and even how to take your medicines
... Should you take the tablets before or after meals? ... Are you using your inhaler properly? You can be sure that
your pharmacist will see that you get your medicine at the right strength and in the right dose and will check that
you know how to take or use it properly.
.... For minor ailments
If you’re feeling off-colour, but don’t feel ill enough to go to the doctor, ask your pharmacist for advice. Pharmacists
have been trained to offer helpful, easy-to-understand advice on the treatment of everyday minor ailments for
yourself and all the family - anything from headaches and coughs and colds, to cold sores, thrush or dermatitis.
Your pharmacist will know when medical help is needed, and will not hesitate to refer you to your doctor if your
symptoms demand it.
Often, however, an over-the-counter remedy will be all you need. It’s worth remembering that pharmacies offer far
more medicines than any other outlets. That’s because many of today’s effective non-prescription medicines can only
be supplied under the supervision of a pharmacist, which means they are only available at a pharmacy. When you
ask for a medicine, your pharmacist will need to ask you a few simple questions before recommending appropriate
treatment. Do remember that they are not trying to pry. Their only concern is that you get the best possible advice
for your problem and that the medicines you receive are suitable for you to take.
And remember, too, that you can talk to your pharmacist in confidence - even about the most personal symptoms.
Like doctors, pharmacists have a professional code that means all personal information you give them will be treated
in the strictest confidence. Most pharmacies now have a private consultation area, out of earshot of other customers
where you can speak to the pharmacist more privately. Tell the pharmacist if you want to have a private chat.

Why your business needs a website
WITHOUT a website, your business or practice is invisible to the two thirds of
prospective clients that use the Internet to locate products and services, and this figure
grows daily.
Worse still, if your competitors have a website and you don’t, then they are picking up
your share of the prospects for your type of business when they search online.
Pay As You Go websites are proving to be a godsend to small and medium-sized
businesses across the UK and Ireland.
Introduced by OPG Ltd, who have been building websites for more than eight years,
and whose innovative ideas have been helping businesses to grow and prosper for
over 30 years, they provide businesses and professional practices with 24/7 access to
their targeted market.
A website not only saves you money on brochures and other such material, it greatly
increases the effectiveness of your current advertising because, in effect, you are open
for business around the clock.
Uniquely, the Pay - Monthly service comes with Web Partner support. This ‘phonea-friend’ facility will provide answers to your queries and help you develop your site
as your business grows.
So if you don’t yet have a website, or are unhappy with the one you have, call today
for an informal chat on 0044 1253 783233. You’ll be glad you did!
