Can you be treated by a pharmacist?

Your pharmacy can advise you on minor illness without the need of an appointment. Please speak to a pharmacist first before visiting the practice if you have a minor illness.

Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines and their use, to effectively and safely manage a range of minor health concerns.

They can also help you to decide whether you’ll need to see a doctor. You don’t need an appointment and you won’t even be asked to make a purchase.

Every pharmacy also has a private consultation area for you to talk about your symptoms in private if you prefer.
