A NEW in-store pharmacy was opened at Asda Tilbury this week.
Ward councillor Bukky Okunade opened the pharmacy on Saturday before undergoing a blood pressure and diabetes check by resident pharmacist Chidi Egeolu.
The opening follows a three-year campaign by ASDA to make pharmacies more accessible to the community, and reflects its commitment to saving the residents of Tilbury time and money.
The pharmacy will be open for 100 hours a week, and will stay open until 11pm Monday to Friday, outside of traditional opening hours.
ASDA Tilbury General Manager for Home and Leisure, Gwen Hosking, said: “ASDA has worked closely with the local Primary Care Trust to create this new department and by offering extended opening hours, we are providing an invaluable service that makes healthcare advice readily available to all, without the need for an appointment.”
Councillor Bukky Okunade added: “This Asda pharmacy is a credible addition to the existing facilities in the area. It's going to make for easier access to health care here in Tilbury.”
The new ASDA Tilbury pharmacy in Thurrock Park Way will be open from 8am – 11pm Monday; 7am until 11pm, Tuesday – Friday; 7am until 10pm Saturday; and from 10am until 4pm on Sunday.
Thurrock Gazette
Funny that she found time for aids week, Thurrock African Association's first annual conference, opened up this in-store pharmacy, yet could not make it tilbury temperance day, maybe that not important enough, maybe tilbury is not important enough.
ReplyDeleteHope tilbury remembers.
Nod nod wink wink, grapevine has said the labour are going to deselect her.
ReplyDeletetilbury do you mean she missed out on rememberance day? I cant remember any day in Tilbury where people celebrated not drinking! Anon these stories about her being deselected are nonsense mate. A friend of mine who is close to a certain silver hair longstanding labourite said they started the rumour to take some of the BNP pressure off her. If they think she is going the BNP wont make such a deal out her non attendance or lateness at stuff. Although he also told me a curley haired labourite is well narked at her and it is causing problems. Even her own side are getting peed off with her only attending black issues he said
