Triage and Treat service in Pembrokeshire continues to help patients

The Triage and Treat service Tenby and Saundersfoot has now seen 26 patients.
The Triage and Treat pilot service is being offered in specific community pharmacies to help you if you have had a low level injury.
The service, believed to be the first in Wales, is being provided by a pharmacist or a member of the pharmacy team who has had special training.
Dr. Phil Kloer Interim Executive Director of Primary Care, Community, Mental Health Services & Clinical Strategy visited the Triage and Treat service in Saundersfoot.
He said “It was really impressive to see the enthusiasm of John and the team at The Pharmacy in Saundersfoot, where they are now able to provide care for people with low level injuries and minor illnesses in the locality. This is a really exciting development and shows the how important the expanded community pharmacy roles are for our local population.”
The service is being piloted in two pharmacies:
Glen Pharmacy, Gas Lane, Tenby SA70 4ES 8.30am–6.00pm Monday to Friday 8.30am– 11.30am Saturday. Tel No: 01834 844462
The Pharmacy, The Strand, Saundersfoot, SA69 9ES 9am–5.30pm Monday to Friday 9.30am–12pm Saturday. Tel No: 01834 812343
The British Red Cross summer service is also operational in Tenby Hospital. The service will run until September 7 and is open 10am-7pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays and from 2-6pm Monday to Friday at Tenby Hospital.
