Assura Pharmacy, a leading provider of modern pharmacy services, is opening a new store in St Katharine’s Dock – offering a much needed pharmacy service to the local community.
The store will serve a diverse population, catering for local residents who need and want a pharmacy on their doorstep, as well as the large transient populations of local office workers and tourists.
In addition to offering traditional pharmacy services of prescriptions, over the counter medicines and other healthcare products, the pharmacy will also stock a wide range of premium skincare brands including Dr Hauschka, Nuxe, Ren, Phyto and Vichy as well as Bourjois cosmetics and a variety of well known fragrances.
Unlike other Assura pharmacies, which are positioned within health centres, this stand-alone store will be devoting more floor space to its ranges of premium skin and beauty products, making this store a one stop shop for all its customers’ pharmacy and health and beauty needs.
Customers will also be able to take advantage of other health services on offer including:
• A FREE prescription collection service
• Disposal of Unwanted Medicines
• Medicines Use Reviews
• The Lipotrim Weight Management Programme
• GastroView 3-in-1 Indigestion Test
Tanya Conway, the Manager of the store comments: “We want to position the Assura store as a one stop shop for all health and beauty needs. This area has clearly been lacking a pharmacy and we are delighted to be offering this essential service for the local residents and the workers situated in and around St Katharine’s Dock and we are looking forward to building a long term relationship with them.”
Assura is part of the Assura Group, which is one of the leading investors in and providers of primary care in the UK. It operates a growing network of pharmacies from Scotland and Wales to the south of England.
