Why come to AR Pharmacy Lyndhurst for minor ailments?

One key benefit that our customers experience is the ability to access treatments without having to visit your GP first. This means you don’t have to make another appointment. And, even if you do, our waiting times will usually be much shorter than a GP surgery, meaning you’ll get seen much quicker. In addition, we are also open on Saturdays (from 9am-2pm)!

Secondly, the NHS will also benefit. Being able to access treatments for minor ailments through your local pharmacy will ease pressure on GPs and A&E departments. This is especially crucial at a time when all healthcare services are seeing an influx of patients.

But don’t be concerned. Our pharmacists are clinically trained to a high degree and can provide these treatments in a safe and effective way. Plus, we know when you need to be referred to your GP or A&E and will advise you accordingly. You’ll always be directed to the right place to get the care and treatment you need.
