Suffolk Community Pharmacies

Community Pharmacists are experts in medicines and their use and provide many services in addition to the safe supply of medicines against prescription or ‘over the counter’ advice and product sale.

Community pharmacies are situated in high street locations, in neighbourhood centres, in supermarkets and in the heart of the most deprived communities. Many are open long hours when other health care professionals are unavailable. There are several different types and sizes of community pharmacies, ranging from the large chains with shops on every High Street or in edge of town supermarkets, to small individually owned pharmacies in small communities, in the suburbs and often in deprived areas or rural settings.
