Product Information

It’s not about being greedy; it is not about taking what you can, it is about the holistic approach and getting the balance right. We offer a range of professional services as well as the dispensing of NHS, private and veterinary prescriptions. Patient care is paramount but at the same time we can also take care of the environment while also being successful in our right in a clinical and business sense’.

Climate change is the most significant health threat modern society has ever faced: it affects clean air, safe drinking water, food and shelter.Rather than keeping someone on blood pressure tablets long term, why don’t we tackle their weight issues and promote a healthy lifestyle? Minna Eii, vice-chair of sustainability at the Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists and co-founder of Pharmacy Declares, adds that community pharmacies are ‘so well placed’ to offer services that stop patients from needing to access further healthcare services, which in turn helps the environment. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) is committed to taking action to tackle the climate and ecological emergency. Recycling is the thin end of the green wedge and is something everyone can get into, and everyone can understand. We keep records of all your prescriptions dispensed by us as well as records of other services we provide to you.

It affects the social and environmental determinants of health – clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food and secure shelter, ultimately leading to declines in human health especially across the most vulnerable and deprived in society further compounding health inequalities.This reduces the nicotine withdrawal symptoms and cravings, whilst they break away from the psychological habit of smoking. With four separate laboratories allocated to various sterile and non-sterile preparations, we can guarantee nil cross-contamination of ingredients during production ensuring that each prescription preparation is fulfilled to exacting standards. This service is open to all eligible patients in the surrounding areas, please contact us for more info.

Ajay Rehan, pharmacy director at K-Chem pharmacy in Northumberland, who has himself introduced some greener practices, says he agrees that a larger emphasis should be placed on clinical services instead of recycling to reduce pharmacies carbon footprint. Many health funds have an allowance that can assist with the costs of private prescription medicines.

Compounding was the traditional art and science of medicines production prior to the evolution of mass medicines production. Yemodia cannot be held responsible or liable for the accuracy, correctness, usefulness or reliability of the data. We can also give you advice on how to live a healthy life, for example, advice on how to stop smoking, or healthy diets. Combine this with the increasing demand for health services and the fact that medicines are the most common intervention in healthcare, and the role for pharmacy is clear.
