Your local pharmacist is a fully qualified healthcare professional and can often help faster than waiting for a GP appointment.
Pharmacy First
Under the Pharmacy First scheme, pharmacists can now assess and treat a number of common conditions directly, including some infections, without needing a GP appointment first.
Common Conditions Pharmacists Can Treat
Pharmacists can advise on and treat many everyday issues:
- coughs
- colds
- minor aches
- skin complaints
- and more
and will always tell you if something needs to be seen by a GP instead.
