Pharmacy There is a pharmacy on the same site as the medical practice. The surgery has close links with the pharmacy in order to provide a comprehensive service.The pharmacy provides standard services such as prescriptions, home delivery, and provision of doset boxes as well as supervised consumption of methadone and selling a limited range of toiletries. |
Dentist The Stirchley Dental Practice is located on the same site as the medical practice. It is a completely independentorganisation, though we can liaise, with your consent, if there is a need. They do offer NHS dentistry, though there is a waiting list. We recommend regular dental checks to avoid problems. Doctors at the medical practice are not trained in dental skills and so it is best to refer all dental problems to a dentis. If you are not registered with a dentist, but you have a dental problem, we suggest you contact the local dental helpline on 01952 606450. Alternatively, you can visit the West Midlands Dental Helpline, a link is included on the left of the page. |
