Happy New Year!

Remember your local pharmacy is available to support all your health needs.

From smoking cessation to back pain to heart burn to teething, pharmacists can provide free advice and treatment for a range of common conditions for the whole family.

The Common Ailments Service covers 27 conditions whereby a pharmacist can assess and provide medication at no charge, if suitable, without the need for a prescription. The service allows patients to seek advice or treatment from a participating community pharmacy, rather than their GP, for a defined list of ailments.

The pharmacist will, after a short consultation on the phone or in person, give advice, supply medication from an NHS agreed list or if necessary, refer the patient to their GP.
