Meningitis B vaccine — free on the NHS from July

From July, the Meningitis B (MenB) vaccine will be available free of charge on the NHS — welcome news for families.

Meningitis B is a serious illness, and vaccination is one of the best ways to protect against it.

We'll be offering the vaccine here at Evans Pharmacy. Ask your local branch whether you or your child are eligible, and we'll let you know how to book closer to the time.

Concerned about a mole or skin lesion? Our imaging service can help

We now offer a professional mole and skin lesion imaging service — a convenient way to access an expert opinion without delay.

Your image is reviewed by a consultant dermatologist, with results typically within 48 hours.

Pricing: £65 for your first mole and £20 for each additional mole.

Available at our Castle Donington, Breaston, Long Eaton, Ilkeston and East Leake branches. Ask in pharmacy, or contact your nearest branch, for further information and to arrange an appointment.
