Talk to your Pharmacist first:
Your pharmacist is a medical professional, and you can talk to them about a health related concern in complete confidence and privacy. There is no need to book an appointment you can just ask at the counter to talk to the pharmacist in the private consultation room.
The Service
This service offers screening and one to one support for patients seeking help towards alcohol abuse. It lets you see what your alcohol patterns are and see if it is harming your health. The pharmacist can then talk to you and offer advice on life style changes if they are needed.

We’ve worked with our panel of experts to produce a range of alcohol information and advice. So whether you want to know about the impact alcohol can have on your health or how it can affect your relationships and family, talk to your pharmacist.
If you are someone who drinks alcohol it’s likely you’ve experienced first-hand at least some of its short-term health effects, be it a hangover or a bad night’s sleep.
