Everything In One PlacE
New Medicine Service (NMS)
If you’re prescribed a medicine to treat a long-term condition for the first time, you may be able to get extra help and advice about your medicine from your local pharmacist through a free scheme called the New Medicine Service (NMS).
People often have problems when they start a new medicine. As part of the scheme, the pharmacist will support you over several weeks to use the medicine safely and to best effect.
The service is only available to people using certain medicines. In some cases where there’s a problem and a solution cannot be found between you and the pharmacist, you’ll be referred back to your doctor.
How does the service work?
Start your medicine
You can talk to the pharmacist when you first start taking your medicine and ask any questions you may have about it. For example, you might want to know about side effects or how you can fit your treatment around your lifestyle.
Your second appointment
You’ll have a follow-up appointment 1 weeks later, when you and your pharmacist can talk about any issues you might have experienced with the medicine. For example, if you’re not taking it regularly or are finding a tablet hard to swallow, your pharmacist can help you get back on track and work with you to find solutions to any issues.
Your third appointment
You will have your last appointment a further 2 weeks later, when you can catch up with your pharmacist again to see how you’re getting on. The service then ends, but your pharmacist will always talk to you about your medicines when you need help.
Do I have to talk about my medicines over the counter in the pharmacy?
Any pharmacist providing the New Medicine Service must have a private consultation area. This is a separate room where you cannot be overheard, and most pharmacists have one. All the discussions with your pharmacist can take place in person or by phone.

"My girlfriend and I had our Covid vaccines here and the vaccinator and staff were kind, helpful and on top of it all made my girlfriend who is petrified of needles feel so at ease.
We're new to the area and this will now be our local pharmacy, cannot recommend the staff and service enough, thank you Kingshield!"
"An absolutely fantastic pharmacy, one of the best I've ever been to. The staff are very friendly, helpful and extremely hard-working. Always making an effort to please every customer, whenever I go in I am greeted with welcoming smiles. In addition to this, they are always stocked up with everything you need. Would highly recommend."
" visited recently for the first time. I only visited the art department upstairs. They have good stuff for artists although it wasn't well stocked up at the time of my visit. The staff are not friendly but i'd visit again regardless as they have what i need for what i do.."
