High street pharmacists are medicines experts and they can also give advice on common health problems which may save you a trip to your GP practice. The Pharmacy First scheme offers expert advice on:
· Medicines
· Bugs and viruses (Nasty coughs and colds and flu)
· Aches and pains
· Skin conditions and allergies
You don’t need an appointment to see a pharmacist, you can speak in private and many prescriptions are free when using this service.
If you need to see a GP they will refer you back to The Practice.
