Your local pharmacist can provide some prescription medicines for seven conditions, if needed, without a GP appointment.
- These conditions include earache, infected insect bites, shingles, sinusitis, sore throat, impetigo and urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- Don’t wait for minor health concerns to get worse, think pharmacy first and get seen by your local community pharmacy team.
- Going to your local pharmacy offers an easy and convenient way to get clinical advice on minor health concerns, you don’t need an appointment and you can be seen in a private consultation room if you prefer.
- Pharmacists have the right clinical training to make sure you get the help you need and can also signpost you to your general practice team, A&E or other relevant local service where necessary.
