Why over-the-counter medicines aren’t prescribed for minor conditions

Your GP, nurse or pharmacist will not generally give you a prescription for medicines that can be bought over the counter for minor health concerns like colds, headaches, hay fever or mild skin conditions.

Buying these directly from your local pharmacy or supermarket means NHS resources can be used for people with more serious conditions, such as cancer, diabetes or heart problems.

Your pharmacy team can give you expert advice, recommend the right treatment and let you know how long you can expect symptoms to last. If you’re unsure, just ask – they’re here to help.

Attention Patients:

Last August 2024, Jhoots were evicted for breaching the terms of their lease (non-payment of rent) at Seaton & Colyton Medical Practice. They applied to the court to return and because of the application we were unable to obtain other pharmacy provision whilst the court case was pending.

After a recent court Hearing, the Judge has decided to allow Jhoots back if they settled their debts which they now have. Therefore, Jhoots are entitled to take up their lease again and return to our premises. We would like to apologise to the local community for the lack of pharmacy provision at our site and for the pressure this has put on other local pharmacies. We hope that Jhoots will be able to provide a good service as soon as possible.

🚑 Paramedic Visit to Seaton Primary School – 18th September 🏫

We’re excited to share that Matt, one of our experienced paramedics, will be visiting Seaton Primary School on Thursday 18th September from 9:00–10:00am to chat with parents about common childhood illnesses.

This informal and informative session will cover:
🌡️ Fever
🤧 Coughs
😷 Sore Throats
🌺 Rashes
📞 Useful resources & guidance on when and who to call if you're concerned

This is a great opportunity for parents to:
✅ Feel reassured
✅ Learn how to spot signs of more serious illness
✅ Ask questions in a relaxed setting

Matt will bring some helpful visual aids and is looking forward to supporting parents at the start of the new school term when those familiar bugs often make their return!

📍 If you're a parent at Seaton Primary or Pink Hippo, we hope to see you there!
We are planning a date for Colyton Primary as well and will update when we have further details.

UTIs are common, but recognising the symptoms early can help prevent complications. Look out for burning during urination, frequent urges to p*e, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and tummy or back pain. If symptoms persist, see a pharmacist or book with your GP. More info: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/urinary-tract-infections-utis/

Men, if you notice changes such as painful urination, lumps, itching, or bumps on the p***s, it’s often nothing serious — but it’s always best to check. Read about what to look out for and when to get advice: https://patient.info/news-and-features/p***s-problems-you-shouldnt-ignore

Stay informed, stay healthy.

We’d like to say a big thank you to our patients for helping reduce the number of missed GP appointments in August 👏 Every appointment attended (or cancelled in advance) makes a real difference.

You can cancel by calling us on (01297) 20877, emailing seatonandcolytonmedicalpractice@nhs.net, texting back to your reminder, or by visiting the practice in person.

Thank you!
