Glasshouse Fragrances Christmas Collection

Pharmacy news

Just when we thought we couldn’t love the Glasshouse Fragrances Christmas Collection any more, our second drop arrives!

Our favourites include the A Tahaa Affair Vanilla Caramel Spinning Carousel which twirls as the warm air of the candle rises, and the Kyoto in Bloom Camellia & Lotus Christmas Bon Bon, which at only $15.95, makes a small and sweet gift.

This limited edition Christmas Collection has been very popular, so make sure you get in early before it sells out.

Spring and the pollen season

Pharmacy news

Spring brings the start of pollen season, and with it comes an increase in asthma and hay fever.

If you have asthma or hay fever, make sure you have an up-to-date management plan to help keep symptoms under control (and avoid unnecessary visits to an emergency department).

It will also reduce your risk of thunderstorm asthma during grass pollen season (from October to December). Talk to one of our pharmacists at Berwick Pharmacy about developing an asthma pan

Today is World Pharmacists Day!

Pharmacy news

We celebrate the many ways that pharmacists contribute to a world where everyone benefits from access to safe, effective, quality medicines and health technologies.

Everyday, our pharmacists help people in our communities by:

providing advice on healthy living and medicines

working with doctors and other healthcare professionals to optimise your medicines

vaccinating to prevent against disease

helping people improve their quality of life

We are proud to be a part of our Berwick and wider community, and we’d like to say a big THANK YOU to the pharmacists who work within our team – Gowen, Darren, Alber, Diane, Mitch and Anish. They may look a little different this year with their face masks, but they’re here for you.

 

 

 

We are now happy to accept electronic prescriptions!

Pharmacy news

So in a nutshell, what are electronic prescriptions?

E-prescriptions allow doctors to order a medicine via a non-paper prescription. Paper prescriptions can continue to be written and dispensed.

E-prescriptions can help reduce infection with paper prescriptions, and reduce transcription errors. They also prevent the problem of a lost prescription.

The doctor sends it as an SMS or email straight to your mobile phone or computer.

You can present the “token” on your phone to the pharmacy. It will be scanned, and dispensed straight from there.

For repeats, you will receive a new token, which is scanned the next time you need the medicine.

For more information, speak to our pharmacists, or information is available via the Australian Digital Health Agency website.
