Pharmacies in Stubbington
Prescriptions, medicines, and pharmacy services
Stubbington has pharmacy provision within the village, providing prescription dispensing, over-the-counter medicines, and the range of services now offered by community pharmacies including flu vaccinations, blood pressure checks, and minor ailment consultations.
The village pharmacy is conveniently located near the centre, making it accessible for residents collecting prescriptions from the local GP surgery. Most repeat prescriptions can be arranged through the GP practice's electronic prescription service, which sends prescriptions directly to the patient's nominated pharmacy.
For those who need a pharmacy outside normal hours, larger branches in Fareham, including those within supermarkets, tend to have extended opening hours including evenings and weekends. The Boots and Superdrug branches in Fareham town centre are options, as are the pharmacy counters within the larger supermarkets on the retail parks.
Delivery services for prescriptions are available from some pharmacies in the area, which is particularly useful for elderly or housebound residents. Many pharmacies now offer an electronic prescription tracking service that allows patients to check when their medication is ready for collection.
Community pharmacies across Hampshire have taken on an expanded role in recent years, offering consultations for minor illnesses that previously would have required a GP appointment. This is useful for conditions like ear infections, urinary tract infections, and skin complaints, where the pharmacist can assess and prescribe directly.
