Flu Jabs
New Heights Pharmacy offers flu vaccinations, both through the NHS and privately.
This convenient option ensures that you can easily protect yourself during the winter season. If you are 65 years old or above, or fall into the 18-64 age group with specific risk factors for flu, you are eligible for a free NHS flu jab. Alternatively, you can choose to safeguard yourself with our private flu jabs.
Blood pressure
A blood pressure test measures the pressure in your arteries as your heart beats and circulates blood throughout your body. Our knowledgeable pharmacists can interpret these readings and provide personalized advice. Hypertension, or high blood
pressure, often presents no symptoms but can lead to serious health complications such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney disease if left undiagnosed. Our Blood Pressure Check Service empowers you to take control of your health and enables early detection of
hypertension.
Weight Management
Our weight management services offer individualized support and guidance from our experienced pharmacists. If you are unsure about the type of support you require or have not utilized these services previously, we recommend scheduling an initial consultation to explore the available treatment options. When combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, our services can assist you in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, ensuring long-term weight management.
Smoking cessation
Every year, millions of individuals successfully quit smoking. Quitting smoking is a challenging journey, and previous attempts should not discourage you. The improvements to your health and lifestyle are so significant that they will serve as a powerful motivator throughout your journey. Various methods, including Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), can aid you in giving up smoking. For assistance and advice on your stop-smoking journey, please consult a member of our pharmacy team.
Sexual Advice and Treatment
For any inquiries or concerns regarding contraception, STIs, unprotected sex, or any other related matters, we are always available to provide assistance. We understand that discussing sexual health can be challenging, which is why we have designated private consultation rooms where our pharmacists can offer confidential and discreet sexual health advice.
Inhaler Reviews
The Inhaler Technique Review and Training Service aims to enhance the management of patients with respiratory conditions by conducting targeted reviews and providing training on proper inhaler usage. Our interventions may include guidance on inhaler usage and the development of a plan to improve adherence. Additionally, we engage in discussions regarding the effective utilization of regular and as-needed inhalers, ensuring that patients are aware of the distinctions between the different types of inhalers they use.
If a change in inhaler, dosage, or frequency is necessary, we can communicate this to the GP and make appropriate referrals.
Medication Reviews
This is a valuable service that provides comprehensive information about the new medicine you are currently taking. This service aims to address any issues or concerns you may have with your medication, allowing you to ask questions and discuss any uncertainties. Moreover, it strives to enhance the effectiveness of your new medicine by exploring alternative methods of administration that may be more convenient or beneficial. Additionally, medication review empowers you to make informed decisions regarding the management of your condition, ultimately contributing to the improvement of your overall health. This, in turn, may result in a reduction in visits to your general practitioner and hospital.
