Under the scope of the pilot project, pharmacists can prescribe additional medications for diabetes, cardiovascular disease (ie. high blood pressure), and COPD. We can discuss how your conditions are managed, make adjustments to current doses or add medications as needed.

Absolutely. Because we are operating on a same day/next day booking model, we encourage folks who need to be seen faster to book with us if they are unable to see their family physician. We will collaborate with your doctor and let them know of any service we provide, to keep them informed of your care. The goal of the project is to alleviate some of the burden from physicians/NPs and allow pharmacists to work collaboratively and to their full scope.

Not at all! This is a pilot project conducted in partnership with the Pharmacy Association of Nova Scotia, the Government of Nova Scotia and Nova Scotia Health. The clinic is open and accessible to everyone.

If during your appointment, the pharmacist prescribes a medication, you can either have the pharmacist process the prescription to be filled on-site at our pharmacy or have them send it to a pharmacy of your choosing.

Transferring is easy! We just need a bit of information from you, and we handle the rest. You can easily complete our online form, call the pharmacy or stop by the counter so that we can collect some basic information. After that, we complete the transfer from your current pharmacy.

No. While you are welcome to arrive early and peruse the storefront, enjoy a coffee or have a seat in the waiting room, we are not able to accomodate early arrivals in the clinic. Clinic days are booked to capacity. If you can't make your originally scheduled time, please give us a call and reschedule.

Life happens! We get it - but to respect everyone's time we have to implement parameters around late arrivals. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, your appointment will be cancelled and you will the have option to re-book for later in the week (or that day pending availability).
