Promoting Positive Change
This is an award which recognises the work community pharmacies do to support people misusing drugs and alcohol. Pharmacies play a crucial role in drug and alcohol treatment, offering things like needle exchange and dispensing medications as well as providing a regular friendly and trusted face for clients. This award was voted for by CGL service users.
Superdrug
Superdrug won the award last year and have picked it up again in 2020 for the brilliant support they give service users, whether that’s showing genuine care for our service users or going above and beyond. They’ve supported CGL with helping get Hepatitis C treatments to really vulnerable service users, been excellent in their communication with the prescribing team and 30 of the 46 service users who voted recommended the team!
Service users also gave great feedback about Lloyds in Remembrance Road and Hillfields Pharmacy. Both support large numbers of substance misusing clients, make them feel welcome and treat all with respect.
