Pharmacist offering help

GP practices and 111 are able to refer you for a minor illness consultation. The common list of minor ailments include sore throats, aches and pains, sore eyes, mouth ulcers, upset stomach and allergic skin reactions.

If you have a minor illness our Patient Services Team can offer you a referral to a Community Pharmacy of your choice. They will ask a few questions and send a secure message to the Pharmacy. You can then book your appointment direct with the Pharmacist at a time that suits you.
