How does this service work?
If you are suffering from a minor ailment please come in and ask for a consultation.
We will begin by taking your name, date of birth and NHS number. The pharmacist will then go on to ask about your medical history, what symptoms you have and may perform an examination to make a diagnosis. They will then advise you on the best course of action to take.
This may include:
-Self-care advice on how to manage your symptoms at home
-Supply you with a medication to treat your symptoms free of charge if you are
normally exempt from prescription charges.
-Referring you to your GP or another healthcare professional if your symptoms
require further investigations.
