Did you know if you are suffering with a sore throat you can be assessed and even treated, if needed, at your local pharmacy?

The sore throat test and treat service is now available in ALL 90 community pharmacies across Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.

Anyone over five years of age can use the service.

You must register for the Common Ailments Service at your pharmacy to be able to access it, which only takes a few minutes.

The pharmacist will carry out an assessment in a private consultation room and decide whether it is appropriate to swab your throat. If so, the result will determine if the sore throat is due to a bacterial infection.

If the test is carried out, you will only need to wait a few moments to receive the result.

Following the result, the pharmacist may provide treatment if it is necessary or they may offer self-care advice instead.

Community pharmacies may ask you to call back or advise you to book an appointment, so please check availability at your local pharmacy.

This week marks Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness Week, a time to recognise a reality that is often hidden and silenced.

In the UK, fewer than 1 in 6 serious sexual offences are reported to the police. That means the majority of survivors endure their experiences alone.

At Thrive, we are here to support you, providing safe and confidential advice through every step of your journey.

If you are experiencing abuse or need support, please contact our specialist team:
