We Want to Say Thank You!

We recognise that we are all going through unprecedented times now and we are extremely grateful for the fantastic work that community pharmacies are doing daily.

The service that pharmacies provide, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak is nothing short of amazing and we are extremely grateful for all that you do.

As a way of saying a thank you we have teamed up with Blossom, a CBD Wellness and Cosmetics supplier, to provide all our pharmacy customers with a complementary CBD Rescue Cream. We know that your hands are going through a busy time right now, so a hydrating and soothing CBD cream should hopefully go a long way.

After providing vital medication to community pharmacies across the UK for several years, we understand the outstanding job that pharmacists provide, so from all of us we want to say…

Thank You and Stay Safe
