I agree to a point Pharmacies doing a range of health checks but not sure if some of them would cope with demand of it, I doubt if our local Pharmacy would they are so slow and it is opposite the Dr's Surgery.

Lots of chemists are really good though.

Most local pharmacies only have one qualified pharmacist on duty, so definitely wouldn't cope
