We’re here to help—and we want to make it easier for you to get the right care.

Our pharmacy team can provide advice and treatment for a range of minor conditions, including:
• Sore throats
• Earache
• Sinusitis
• Urinary tract infections (in some cases)
• Skin conditions and more

However, here in England, some conditions—such as chest infections—require assessment by a GP or another healthcare provider, as they may need further examination or tests before treatment like antibiotics can be prescribed.

If you’re unable to get a GP appointment, you can also contact NHS 111 for advice on the most appropriate care.
