๐Ÿ’Šโœจ Did you know your local pharmacy can do far more than just hand out prescriptions? Under the Pharmacy First scheme, pharmacists can now help with a range of common conditions โ€” often without needing a GP appointment! ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿ’ฌ They can offer advice, treatments and even prescribe for minor illnesses. So next time youโ€™re under the weather, head to your local pharmacy first.

Industrial action is taking place this week, and NHS services across Surrey are already extremely busy.

Surreyโ€™s Joint Chief Medical Officer is asking residents to use NHS services responsibly, choose the right service for their needs, and help protect care for those who need it most.

๐Ÿ”น Consider Pharmacy First for minor illnesses
๐Ÿ”น Use NHS 111 for advice and guidance
๐Ÿ”น Only use A&E for emergencies

This time the impact of industrial action is expected to be exacerbated by the high demand for services already being experienced, with cases of flu peaking earlier and predicted to grow, amid mounting concerns over what is expected to be one of the worst flu seasons the NHS has seen.
