Community Pharmacy Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

The number of discarded drug needles being found on the city's streets decreased by more than 80 per cent over a 12 month period.

Between April and June 2026, a total of 173 needles were found across the city compared to 1,066 in the same three month period in 2025.

The 83.7 per cent decrease has been attributed to several factors including the continued use of needle bins and our ongoing work with pharmacies to hand out sharps containers.

It was lovely to visit the team from Clayton Pharmacy today in their new home in the Herlington Centre, Peterborough. They've had a difficult few months, but they're now looking forward to welcoming back patients, old and new!

Earlier this week we were out and about visiting some of the pharmacy teams in the area. As always, it was great to get the opportunity to meet face to face. The committee members find these visits really useful and hopefully you do to. If we didn't get to you this time and you'd like to arrange a visit, just contact Karen and she will arrange a time to pop in.
