Pharmacy of your choice

Patients registering for the Pharmacy of Your Choice scheme are informed that there are another three participating pharmacies in addition to the ones listed in yesterday's newspaper.

These pharmacies, that were mistakenly omitted by the Health Division, are Chemimart and Vilhena Pharmacy in Floriana and Chemimart in Valletta.

The Health Division reminded patients entitled to free medicine that they are to register for the scheme by May 30.

Those patients who collect their medicine from the Floriana or Birkirkara health centres or the district clinics in Valletta, Balzan, Lija or Pietà are to pick up the registration form for the scheme from either Floriana or Birkirkara or from participating pharmacies.

Patients are to take their identity card, the pink and yellow entitlement cards and the white entitlement cards with them.

Once they pick up the registration form, the pharmacist in charge of that pharmacy is to fill it in. Patients are to take the form - partially filled in by the pharmacist - to a doctor to fill in the second part of the form. The form is then to be returned to the pharmacy (from where it was picked up).

The complete list of participating pharmacies are: Balzan: Balzan Pharmacy, Medica Pharmacy; Birkirkara: Fleur-De-Lys Pharmacy, Ħerba Pharmacy, Mackie's Pharmacy, Rational Pharmacy, St Anne Pharmacy, St Helen Pharmacy, St Paul's Pharmacy, The Local Dispensary, Pharmaplus, St Jude Pharmacy, Holy Cross Pharmacy; Fleur-De-Lys: Marrit Pharmacy; Floriana: Floriana Dispensary, St Publius Pharmacy, Chemimart and Vilhena Pharmacy; Guardamangia: St Luke Pharmacy; Guardamangia/Pietà: Charing Pharmacy; Lija: St Michael Pharmacy, St Joseph Pharmacy; Pietà: J&L Pharmacy, St Anthony Pharmacy; Valletta: Chemimart, Collis Williams Pharmacy, Empire Pharmacy, Empire Pharmacy Branch, New British Dispensary, Regent Pharmacy and Royal Pharmacy.
