Chemist and Medical Supplies

The Nursing Post is not a dispensing agency. If regular medication is used, please bring enough to cover your holiday.  Any medication required in an emergency or an unexpected situation will be issued on Doctors’ orders only and will be charged for.

There is a resident Chemist/Pharmacist situated in the Newsagency/Post Office building in Knight Terrace, Denham.

Evacuations

A local branch of the St John Ambulance, staffed by volunteers, together with the Royal Flying Doctor Service is available when necessary.  Family vehicles are quite often adequate to transfer patients.  Only very sick patients are transferred by evacuation services.  The evacuation services are ordered at the discretion of the nurse.
