Boots at Cowes Medical Centre – 7 March 2024
Boots are closing their pharmacy at the medical centre Friday, 8 March 2024. They have sold their business to Jhoots pharmacy who are yet to confirm when next week they will be up and running. We also do not yet have any information about their opening hours.
To ensure our patients who have nominated Boots-Cowes as their preferred pharmacy can get their medication during this transition, we will send prescriptions to the ‘cloud’. Having your prescription sent to the ‘cloud’ means you can go into any pharmacy and ask them to ‘download your prescription’ and fill it. You will need to have your NHS number with you to do this.
Boots will transfer any patients who have nominated Boots Cowes as their preferred pharmacy to Jhoots Cowes. You can of course decide to change your preferred pharmacy.
The pharmacy, be that Boots or Jhoots, is an independent business which just happens to be in the same building as us – the Practice was not involved in this process, nor has any influence over it. Any concerns or compliments about the pharmacy service should be directed to the pharmacy.
