Community pharmacists are highly qualified health care professionals, who can provide clinical advice and prompt treatment in your neighbourhood.

They are able to diagnose and treat seven of the most common conditions too, so you don't need to come to hospital. This includes earache, impetigo, infected insect bites, shingles, sinusitis, sore throat and uncomplicated urinary tract infections.

Pharmacists are also able to prescribe antibiotics.

Perimenopause is one of the three stages of menopause. It’s when menopause symptoms start but your periods haven’t stopped.

For many women, these symptoms can affect daily life – from energy and mood to relationships and work.

They can also start earlier for some, which is why recognising the signs and getting support matters.

Menopause will now be part of routine NHS health checks – offered every 5 years to eligible adults aged 40 to 74 – for the first time. By including tailored questions about menopause, more women will be able to get the support they need to manage their symptoms.

Need a supply of oral contraception?

This is an NHS service and so the supply of oral contraception will be exempt from any prescription charges.

Individuals do not need to be registered with a GP to access this service. Pharmacies will only inform the GP practice that individuals have accessed the service, with their consent.

To be eligible to access this service a person must be an individual seeking to be initiated on an oral contraception (OC), or seeking to obtain a further supply of their ongoing OC:
• Combined Oral Contraceptive (COC) – from menarche up to and including 49 years of age; or
• Progestogen Only Pill (POP) – from menarche up to and including 54 years of age.
People who wish to consult another healthcare provider for contraception support are still free to do so.
