Access to acne treatment without a visit to your GP
If you suffer from acne, you can use our private and discreet service to get a free pharmacist assessment of your condition as well as recommendations for treatment.
Free Blood pressure Check
Our pharmacist can check your blood pressure.
A blood pressure test is the only way to find out if your blood pressure is too high or too low because most people won't have any obvious symptoms. Having a test is easy and could save your life.
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and is given as 2 figures:
systolic pressure – the pressure when your heart pushes blood out
diastolic pressure – the pressure when your heart rests between beats
Blood glucose tests, which can be conducted in our pharmacy through a simple blood test, measure the amount of glucose in your blood. Glucose is a simple sugar that provides energy for the body. The amount of sugar in the blood is controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is produced by the pancreas (a gland behind the stomach). When food is digested and enters your bloodstream, insulin moves glucose out of the blood and into cells, where it's broken down to produce energy. However, if you have diabetes, your body is unable to break down glucose into energy. This is because there's either not enough insulin to move the glucose, or the insulin produced doesn't work properly.
Although there are no lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk of type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes is often linked to being overweight.
If you assume you may have Type 2 Diabetes, we are here to help you find out.
The diabetes test is free for anyone aged 16 and over who may be in danger of developing Type 2 Diabetes, a condition characterised by what is called insulin resistance.

We offer two kinds of emergency contraception pill instore:

How Dock Pharmacy Can help Stay Safe When You Travel?
When you travel abroad, you often need additional vaccinations to protect yourself from infections which pose a threat in other parts of the world. The exact vaccinations you need will depend on where you are going and the time of the year of your trip.
Some travel vaccinations may be needed several weeks before departure. Ideally you should see us six to eight weeks before travelling, but we may still be able to help if you're leaving sooner.
The Travel Vaccinations and Antimalarial Service is available in our pharmacy store in Tilbury. It's suitable for adults and children aged two and over. If you need antimalarials, our pharmacist can offer you as part of this service if they're suitable. You don't have to book a separate appointment with the Malaria Prevention Service.
