Welcome to Pharmisense Online
The Pharmisense staff have been celebrating their first anniversary and Dr Lynch from Adelaide
Street Family Practice came along to oversee the cutting of the cake.
The in-surgery pharmacy has proved to be a real hit with patients - not just from Adelaide Street
- but from Harris Medical Centre and other surgeries around Blackpool too.
