Skehard Pharmacy Ltd

Skehard Pharmacy is a community pharmacy that has served the Blackrock, Mahon and Ballintemple areas for over 50 years. It accepts paper and electronic prescriptions and dispenses on all government schemes. The front-of-shop team assists customers with health and wellness needs.

Services include blister packing for patients on multiple medicines, particularly those with visual or cognitive impairment, which organises tablets into time-marked sections to improve adherence and reduce errors. The pharmacy offers blood pressure checks to detect hypertension early, monitor existing conditions and assess treatment efficacy. It also runs a corporate flu vaccination programme, providing on-site or in-pharmacy vaccinations to reduce staff absenteeism, and supplies emergency hormonal contraception. A waiting list operates for blister packing, and customers can book vaccinations and consultations.
