General
What services do you offer? We offer face-to-face consultations with a pharmacist independent prescriber. These cover minor infections, health advice, longevity and wellbeing consultations, and private prescriptions where clinically appropriate.
Who will I see? All appointments are with Subhaan Shabbir, a pharmacist independent prescriber registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC 2225168).
Who are these services for? Our services are for adults aged 18 and over who want advice on a health concern, support with their general wellbeing, or a longer-term look at their health.
Do you offer video or phone appointments? Not at the moment. All appointments take place in person at our clinic at Strength Shack, Carlisle.
Health Advice and Longevity Consultations
What is the difference between Health Advice and a Longevity Consultation?
Health Advice looks at what's affecting you now, such as energy, sleep, nutrition, lifestyle and minor infections, with practical steps you can take straight away.
Longevity Consultation takes a longer-term view of your health, including lifestyle, metabolism and hormonal health, to help you plan for staying well as you get older.
Private Prescriptions
Can you provide private prescriptions? Yes. If a medicine is clinically appropriate after your consultation, a private prescription can be issued. Not every consultation will result in a prescription.
Is the prescription included in the consultation price? Yes. The cost of issuing a prescription is included in your consultation fee. You pay the pharmacy separately for the medicine itself.
How do I get my prescription filled? You can take your private prescription to any UK pharmacy that is able to dispense it.
Will you tell my GP? With your consent, we will share a summary of your consultation and any medicine prescribed with your GP, so that your records stay up to date.
Appointments and Payments
How do I pay? Full payment is taken securely online when you book.
What is your cancellation policy? Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or rearrange, and you'll get a full refund. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice, and missed appointments, are not refunded.
What if I need urgent help? We are not an emergency service. In an emergency call 999, or call NHS 111 for urgent advice.
