His Worship the Mayor, Councillor Terry Brown officially opens late night pharmacy

A brand new late night pharmacy designed by MedicX Pharmacy, part of the MedicX Group, was officially opened in Peel Street, Chorley, at a ceremony on 28 January 2009. His Worship the Mayor, Councillor Terry Brown, performed the ribbon cutting to unveil the state of the art pharmacy to the local community. Located close to the Library House Surgery and near the Fleet Street car parks, the pharmacy is dedicated to enhancing the experience of its patients through innovative and practical design and is open until 10pm, 365 days a year.

The pharmacy offers two private consultation rooms, a patient information area including a touch screen health unit displaying local health information, as well as a comfortable seating area, with a large plasma TV screen showing a dedicated TV health channel, alongside a wide range of services. Following his official duties, the Mayor underwent a routine blood pressure test, one of extra services offered by MedicX Pharmacy. 

A number of additional healthcare services such as acupuncture, aromatherapy and physiotherapy and a lifestyle assessment programme are also available, alongside an osteopath and podiatrist. Details of all services are displayed in store and can be booked by calling the Chorley pharmacy team on 01257 754754 or emailing chorley@medicxpharmacy.com.

"It is wonderful to see such a great facility opening in Chorley.  After the official ribbon cutting ceremony I was given a guided tour of the pharmacy and treatment rooms as well as having a blood pressure test, which is one of the extra services offered by MedicX Pharmacy."
