A pharmacy has opened its doors at the new Acre Mills outpatient and health centre in Lindley.

The Co-operative Pharmacy has created two additional jobs at the outlet, which will sell pharmacy products as well as being able to dispense private prescriptions.

The new pharmacy has opened in partnership with Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust and will support the new Acre Mills centre at Lindley, which is expected to serve 120,000 outpatients annually.

The Co-operative Pharmacy has been working with the trust since May, 2012, operating an outpatient pharmacy facility in the main entrance area at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

Acre Mills, which stands oppose the infirmary, has been transformed into a state-of-the-art outpatient centre by the trust.

The building brings together a wide variety of health professionals and an outpatient pharmacy under the same roof.

The opening hours are 8.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday.

The pharmacy was officially opened by Andrew Haigh, chairman of Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, and John Nuttall, chief executive of the Co-operative Pharmacy.
