Pharmacist praised for range of services
Thursday 3rd June 2010
A pharmacist has been praised for the range of services he offers and for the dedication to patients he has shown.
Eric Norgbey established a drug dispensary in the Hampshire village of Kings Worthy three years ago, FarmersWeekly reports.
As well as providing a delivery service to help patients who cannot make it into the centre, he liaises with the local doctor's surgery and is in discussions with the county hospital to expand his business to offer phlebotomy and warfarin clinics.
Remarking on Mr Norgbey's efforts, Stanley Howell from Winchester City Council - which is headquartered on Colebrook Street - said his service is "truly personal".
He added: "Eric goes well above the call of duty and puts himself out for people. If he hasn't got something he will get it and deliver it free to you. He's one of a rare breed these days."
Sometimes the pharmacist does not finish his rounds until 21:00 BST.
