Suffering from asthma? You’re not alone! 5.4 million people in the UK are currently receiving treatment for the lung condition. Shockingly, this is broken down to every 1 in 11 children, and every 1 in 12 adults – so it’s much more common than you think.\nWe offer a Hull based asthma clinic. During an appointment, the Pharmacist will go through your medical history and make sure you’re happy with the medication you’ve been prescribed.

We provide an NHS blood pressure check service. Monitoring your blood pressure as you get older is important as high blood pressure can lead to strokes and cardio-vascular problems. 
The only way of knowing whether you have high blood pressure is to have a blood pressure test.
All adults over 40 are advised to have their blood pressure checked at least every 5 years. Getting this done is easy and could save your life.
You can get your blood pressure tested at a number of places, including at our pharmacies. If you've not been diagnosed with high blood pressure and would like to get yours checked, contact or visit one of our branches. 
If we find any potential signs of high blood pressure, we will refer you to your GP for further investigation and treatment if appropriate.

Keeping patients safe when they transfer between care providers. It is widely accepted that when patients move between care providers the risk of miscommunication and unintended changes to medications is a significant problem. It has been reported that between 30 and 70 percent of patients have either an error or an unintentional change to their medicines when their care is transferred. Getting the transfer of medicines information right can be challenging as patients follow complex pathways and systems vary between providers. However, greater collaboration between professionals can make a difference to patient safety. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) has worked with other Royal Colleges to develop guidance about keeping patients safe when they transfer between care providers. This includes a number of good practice principles for all healthcare professionals involved in the sending and receiving of information about medicines, as well as a number of practical suggestions that providers, commissioners and professionals may wish to implement to support the safe transfer of information. 

If you have out of date or unwanted medicines, both prescription or over the counter drugs, don’t bin them or flush them. You can take your unwanted or out of date medicines back to your pharmacy for safe disposal, and it’s completely FREE. Each year enormous quantities of unused and expired medications are dumped into bins or flushed down toilets and sinks. The effects on the environment and human health are unclear but evidence is pointing to the presence of chemicals from prescriptions and over-the-counter medications in soil, drinking water and the surrounding environment. Just as proper medication administration is important, so is safe and cautious disposal.

Make your inhaler work for you.
Get the best from your medicines with a session on inhaler technique. Your pharmacist can check that you're using your inhaler(s) in the best way possible to ensure your medicine is effective in helping you to manage your asthma well.
Think your inhaler technique is fine? You might be surprised. Even if you've been using the same asthma medicine for years, you might have developed some bad habits with your technique. Lots of people aren't getting the full benefits, and a few tweaks to how you're using your inhaler may make all the difference.
If you've been put off using your preventer inhaler for any reason, talk to our pharmacist about it. They may be able to answer any questions you have and help ease your concerns
