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.

Our pharmacy struggle to get our prescriptions right Im not sure I would trust them with anything else!

Lots of chemists are really good though.
