How the duty rota works in Salou

The duty service guarantees pharmaceutical care 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Each duty shift starts at 09:00 and ends at 09:00 the next day, covering a full 24 hours. On Sundays and public holidays at least one pharmacy is always open. The calendar is set by the Col·legi Oficial de Farmacèutics de Tarragona (COFT) and rotates among all the pharmacies in the municipality.

A shift lasts 24 hours, from 09:00 to 09:00
The handover is not at midnight. The pharmacy listed against a given day covers from 09:00 that morning until 09:00 the following morning.
In the small hours, yesterday's shift still applies
This follows from the shift boundary above and is the most common mix-up: at 3:00 on a Tuesday morning, the pharmacy on duty is the one assigned to Monday, not to Tuesday.
The COFT sets the calendar, not each pharmacy
The Col·legi Oficial de Farmacèutics de Tarragona assigns the shifts for the whole province a year in advance. Salou Town Hall publishes the full annual calendar as a PDF at salou.cat.
It rotates among every pharmacy in the town
Each pharmacy in Salou, Farmàcia Arqué included, takes its share of the calendar. It covers all 365 days of the year: weekdays, Sundays, public holidays and the whole summer season.

Where to check today's rota

Farmàcia Arqué in the duty system

We appear in Salou's official duty calendar published at salou.cat as ARQUÉ – Passeig Miramar, 72 – 977 38 12 64. When it is our turn, we cover the 24-hour duty shift assigned by the COFT, whether it falls on a weekday, Sunday or holiday. And when we are not on duty, the poster at our door always shows the nearest duty pharmacy that day.

Our regular hours

Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 13:30 and from 16:30 to 20:00, and Saturday from 09:00 to 13:30. On Saturday afternoons and Sundays we are closed, except when the duty shift falls to us, in which case we open on duty hours. Outside these hours, check the duty rota on the door poster, on 012, or on the website of the Col·legi Oficial de Farmacèutics de Tarragona (coft.cat). We open all year round, including the summer season.

Questions about the duty pharmacy in Salou

Which pharmacy is on duty today in Salou?

The rota changes daily according to the calendar of the Col·legi de Farmacèutics de Tarragona. Check salou.cat (the Town Hall's annual PDF), the farmacias.es locator, the poster on the door of Farmàcia Arqué (Passeig de Miramar, 72) or call 012.

How can I check the duty rota?

Four reliable sources: the annual calendar at salou.cat, the Col·legi Oficial de Farmacèutics de Tarragona at coft.cat, the national locator farmacias.es and the free 012 line of the Generalitat de Catalunya. We also post the day's rota on our door.

Does Farmàcia Arqué take duty shifts in Salou?

Yes. We are listed in the official calendar published at salou.cat as ARQUÉ – Passeig Miramar, 72 – 977 38 12 64 and cover the 24-hour duty shift the COFT assigns us, on weekdays, Sundays and holidays.

What hours does the duty service cover?

Salou's pharmacies relay each other around the clock: each day one pharmacy takes the full shift, from 09:00 to 09:00 the next day. On Sundays and holidays at least one is always open.

Is there a pharmacy open 24 hours in Salou?

There isn't a single pharmacy open 24 hours every day. The service is covered through rotating shifts among the town's pharmacies, including Farmàcia Arqué, which together guarantee round the clock cover. Check which one is on duty right now at salou.cat, coft.cat, farmacias.es, or by calling 012.

It's 3 in the morning — do I want today's duty pharmacy or yesterday's?

Yesterday's. The duty shift runs from 09:00 to 09:00 the next day, so between midnight and 09:00 the pharmacy assigned to the previous day is still on duty. If you check the calendar at that hour, read the row for the day that is ending, not the one starting.

Where is Salou's official duty calendar published?

Salou Town Hall publishes the full annual calendar at salou.cat as a PDF, in the health facilities section. The shifts themselves are set by the Col·legi Oficial de Farmacèutics de Tarragona (coft.cat), the professional body for the province.

Do I need a prescription at the duty pharmacy?

The duty pharmacy dispenses exactly as it would in normal hours: medicines that require a prescription still require one, electronic or on paper, and those that don't are dispensed with pharmacist advice. Duty cover extends the hours of service, it doesn't change the rules on dispensing.

Do the shifts change in summer or on public holidays?

The mechanism is the same all year. The calendar covers all 365 days, including Sundays, public holidays and the whole summer high season, with one duty pharmacy assigned to each. What changes in summer is demand, not the rota system.

Which pharmacy will be on duty tomorrow in Salou?

This page lists the rota for the next seven days, with the pharmacy assigned to each date and its address, taken from the Ajuntament de Salou's official calendar. Remember each shift runs from 09:00 to 09:00 the following day, so the pharmacy listed for a date also covers the night that follows it.

If Farmàcia Arqué is open, do I still have to go to the duty pharmacy?

No. The duty pharmacy exists to cover the hours when the others are shut. If we are open you can come straight to Passeig de Miramar, 72: we dispense exactly the same and we are probably closer. You only need the duty pharmacy outside our opening hours.
