Visit your Pharmacy

Pharmacists (chemists) are a great source of health care service advice and information.

They are experts in medicines and how medicines work. They can help you decide if you need to see a doctor.

You can talk to them in confidence – even about the most personal symptoms – and you don’t need to make an appointment. Many also offer services such as stop smoking support and health checks.

They can help with issues like:

• Dispensing medicines – and how to use them safely, as well as getting rid of old or out of date medicine.
• Emergency hormonal contraception, or ‘the morning after pill’ is available at your local pharmacist.
• Minor ailments – a pharmacist can help with prescription treatments for conjunctivitis, cystitis, impetigo and more without you needing to see your doctor.
• The right type of cough and flu remedies for you and your family.
