Richmond Council has offered reassurance after the closure of two pharmacies in the Hampton North Area.

They said: "We are aware of the recent closure of two pharmacies in the Hampton North area and are working closely with system partners, including the NHS, to review this. 

"We want to assure those who live and work in the area that we are working closely with the NHS and other health partners and will continue to support NHS England in their decision-making related to local service provision."

Residents impacted by the closure can use other nearby pharmacies:

• Boots pharmacy on Station Approach (TW12 2HZ)
• Hampton Hill pharmacy on High Street (TW12 1NL)
• Health On The Hill pharmacy on High Street (TW12 1PD)
• Boots pharmacy on Bear Road (TW13 6SA)

Residents who would have previously used one of the now-closed Boots pharmacies for prescription pick-up or delivery will be able to access the same services at the other local Boots pharmacies.

Richmond Council said: "We are also aware that the closure of two pharmacies in the area has increased demand on the remaining pharmacy at Station Approach.

"The Richmond Health and Wellbeing Board Chair has issued a letter to this pharmacy and senior managers at Boots to ask for assurance that additional resource will be provided to support this increased demand."
