Wicker Pharmacy Visit
October 19, 2010

wicker_pharm resizedOn October 13, seven LINk members were given a tour of the Associated Chemists located on The Wicker, better known as The Wicker Pharmacy. 

Ellie Bennett, Operations Manager, and Mark Taylor, IT Manager, showed us around and talked about the services they offer. As well as the full-range of pharmacy services, they are especially proud of their addiction treatment clinics, having an onsite mobility shop and are keen for people to make better use of the free Medical Use Review (MUR) service.
