RE: Jhoots Pharmacy

"We are working with all partners to try and support the chemist here in Sedbergh but due to the temporary closure here is what we can and cannot do.

·         For urgent/same day prescriptions where travel to Kendal/Kirkby Lonsdale is difficult we will supply prescription drugs here in Sedbergh, to those patients who would normally go to JHoots. 

·         For routine/repeat medication we encourage the same group of patients to nominate either on-line or alternate pharmacies in the area, as we can only supply the prescription drugs on an individual basis after a safety assessment of missing repeat medication.

·         We are reviewing options for those patients who receive boxed weekly supplies.

·         Those existing patients who get their prescriptions from the surgery (dispensing) are unaffected.

 We are having to balance regulations with the need to support healthcare in the local community, that we are proud to be part of. "
