FINAL WEEK: Sunday Chemist Service in Formby Ending After Today

We’d like to remind our community that this is the final week of the Sunday chemist rota in Formby.
While we previously informed residents that the NHS was withdrawing the Sunday chemist service, a temporary extension was granted to allow the public time to adjust and make alternative arrangements. That extension has now ended.
Today – Sunday 3rd August 2025
The final Sunday pharmacy in Formby will be:
Boots The Chemist
19 Elbow Lane,
Formby,
L37 4AB
📞 Tel: 01704 877647
🕛 Open from 12 noon – 1pm
Please note: There will be no Sunday chemist service in Formby after today.
Important Notice:
From Friday 8th August, the Sunday chemist rota in Formby will be permanently withdrawn.
This change comes after the NHS decided to end the special permission and funding that previously supported the one-hour Sunday opening – a provision now considered historic and no longer maintained in other areas.
What does this mean for you?
From next Sunday onward, residents requiring pharmacy services on a Sunday will need to travel to nearby alternatives such as:
Southport
Litherland
Aintree
We understand this will come as disappointing news for many. The Sunday chemist has long served as a valuable support to our community for decades. Its closure marks the end of an era.
💙 Thank You
Formby Bubble extends sincere thanks to all the local pharmacies who have participated in the Sunday rota over the years, providing care and convenience when it was needed most.
We will continue to keep residents informed about any changes to local healthcare services.
