NOTHING is more important than health and welfare during a pandemic.
And while every business has been affected in one way or another, the role of local pharmacies has increased considerably.
Haydon Bridge Pharmacy has long been a one-stop-shop for a wide range of medical needs.
But now it's 27-strong team of staff, which includes specialists who offer private consultations to residents about their medical needs, are continuing to work flat out to cater for the needs of the community.
And it's not just in Haydon Bridge, for the business’s eight delivery drivers travel across the district, reaching out as far afield as Brampton, West Denton, Otterburn and Consett.
