From soothing an earache to treating a UTI, your local pharmacist can now provide medicines for 7 conditions, if necessary, without the need for a GP appointment.
The 7 conditions are:
- Urinary Tract Infections or UTIs (women aged 16-64)
- Shingles (aged 18 years and over)
- Impetigo (1 year and over)
- Infected Insect Bites (1 year and over)
- Sinusitis (12 years and over)
- Sore Throat (5 years and over)
- Earache (1 to 17 years)
If you go to a pharmacy with one of these conditions, the pharmacist will offer you advice, treatment or refer you to a GP or other healthcare professional if needed.
