Sunday Pharmacy Service in Formby Ends After Decades

After serving the community for many decades, the long-standing tradition of a pharmacy opening on Sundays in Formby has sadly come to an end. The NHS has withdrawn the funding that supported this essential service, meaning there is no longer a Sunday chemist available in the village.

We understand this will be disappointing news for many residents, as the Sunday opening had become a valued part of our local healthcare support. According to NHS guidance, the provision was considered outdated and historic, with no similar funding being offered elsewhere for Sunday openings lasting just one hour.

For those in need of pharmacy services on a Sunday, the nearest alternatives are now located in Southport, Litherland, or Aintree.
