Minor Ailments Scheme
You may not always need to see your GP. The Pharmacy can treat any one of the conditions below.
A community pharmacist can assess you and suggest the correct medication without needing a prescription.
- Athletes foot
- Cold
- Ear ache
- Headache
- Blocked nose
- Coughs
- Hay fever
- Sore throat
- Thrush
- Thread worms

You will receive the correct medication sooner and your doctor will be free to see patients with more urgent problems. If the pharmacist decides that you need to see your doctor more urgently they will arrange this for you.
