The NHS has launched an expansion of community pharmacy services.
You can now go to a local pharmacy for advice and treatment for 7 common conditions and your pharmacist may provide some prescription medicine without you needing to see a GP.
From 31st January, if you or a family member is suffering with:
- Ear infection
- Sore throat
- Sinusitis
- Infected insect bite
- Impetigo
- Shingles
- Uncomplicated urinary tract infection – Just think, PHARMACY FIRST
This is part of a major plan to make accessing healthcare in your local community more convenient.
By giving people more choice in how and where they access care, it will help to save up to 10 million GP appointments over the next year.
