A resident has helped open up a new branch of a pharmacy near Glasgow today.
Graham Naylor, local to the Hamilton area, cut the ribbon to officially open the Rowlands Pharmacy Burnbank Road, which has been taken over by Numark Pharmacy.
As one of the pharmacy's longest-standing patients, Graham said the responsibility was an 'honour' as he attended the pharmacy's community open day this morning.
He said: "I’ve had a fantastic time opening the new Numark Pharmacy Community Open Day this morning. It was an honour to officially open the doors and welcome customers in.
"Community pharmacies are so important in providing access to healthcare and I’m proud to have supported Numark Pharmacy in providing this much-needed facility."
The branch also saw attendance from Reverand Malcolm Anderson to receive a donation of £250 on behalf of the Hamilton Churches Drop-in Centre which provides food, shelter and hygiene facilities to those in crisis.
The pharmacy will be run by manager Sana Anwar, who said: "It’s been a wonderful morning here at Rowlands Pharmacy Burnbank Road. It was lovely to welcome the community into the store and re-cement our commitment to them.
"As community pharmacists, we’re a pillar of healthcare for the locality and I look forward to meeting more of the community in the coming weeks."
The branch is located at 33 Burnbank Road, Hamilton, ML3 9AA.
It will be open between 9am and 6pm from Monday to Friday and 9am until 4pm on weekends.
