Pharmacies may be able to help you order your medication. This is between you and the pharmacy, but please be aware that not all pharmacies offer this service.

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can help you with these questions. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses, without patients needing to see a GP. Community pharmacists will signpost patients to other local services where necessary. By expanding the services community pharmacies offer, the NHS is aiming to help free up GP appointments and give people more choice in how and where they access care.

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.

Don't wait for minor health concerns to get worse – think pharmacy first and get seen by your local pharmacy team.
