Don’t forget about your local pharamacy!
Community pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines to effectively and safely mange a range of minor health concerns such as coughs, colds, sore throats, itchy eyes, earaches, tummy troubles, aches and pains and many more.
We are lucky locally to have some excellent local community pharmacists who can support you without needing a doctor appointment.
If symptoms suggest it’s something more serious, pharmacists have the right clinical training to ensure people get the help they need immediately and can refer patients to ourselves or A+E where necessary.
