Looking For Wound Care

During your appointment your Pharmacist will assess whether a follow-up appointment or referral is necessary as part of your wound aftercare plan. Your Pharmacist will determine whether it is necessary to schedule a follow-up appointment to manage your recovery and the risk of infection. If required, your Pharmacist can also collaborate with your healthcare team, to ensure you are supported during your recovery.

If you become unwell or cannot make it into pharmacy for your follow-up appointment, our 777 team can continue to support you at home with services such as home delivery, if you require medications or wound dressings delivered to your home.

Yes. Pharmacists who are trained in wound care can assess your wound and change the dressing as part of your treatment plan. They will make sure the dressing is appropriate for your wound type and provide advice on how to keep it clean and promote healing. If your wound needs more advanced care, they will refer you to a doctor or another health professional.

Stitches should only be removed by trained health professionals, usually your GP or their practice nurse. In some cases, pharmacists with specific wound-care training and working within approved guidelines can remove stitches from simple, healing wounds. This is typically offered as part of a follow-up wound care service. If your wound is infected, deep, or more complex, the pharmacist will refer you to a doctor for further care. Check with your local Pharmacy 777 pharmacist to see if they offer stitches removal as part of their wound care service.
