Be Prepared to Care for Yourself at Home

A well-stocked medicine cabinet and plenty of rest can help you manage many common minor illnesses and injuries without needing to see a GP.

You can often treat the following at home:

• Coughs or colds

• Upset stomach

• Pain or headaches

• Minor cuts and grazes

• Sore throat (if it lasts two weeks or more, contact your GP)

Have you tried over-the-counter remedies?
Pharmacy medicines such as cold and flu relief, eye drops for conjunctivitis, or pain relief can be very effective for common symptoms.

You can also visit our self-help / self-referral page.

Your Local Pharmacy Can Help

Pharmacists are trained professionals who can provide expert advice and support for a wide range of minor health concerns. You can speak to them about:

• Medication queries – dosage, suitability, or urgent needs

• Help with repeat prescriptions

• Sore or red eyes (see an optician if it persists)

• Runny nose or mild cold symptoms

• Diarrhoea or an upset stomach

• Insect bites or stings

• Support after hospital discharge

For trusted health information and advice:

You can access the Pharmacy First Service by attending or contacting the pharmacy directly without the need for referral.

The following table shows the 7 conditions pharmacists can manage across various age ranges.

* Distance selling pharmacies will not complete consultations for acute otitis media.

A trained pharmacist prescriber can issue prescriptions and medications such as antibiotics for the above. When you have a consultation with them, the practice will receive a full report which is added to your medical record.

You can now request advice, treatment, sick notes, GP letters, recent test results, and more through our GP online booking system. Simply complete a short online form, and we’ll respond to your request by the end of the next working day.

The system is available Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM – 6:30 PM.

Appointments
All appointments are conducted face-to-face. However, in cases where a physical examination is not necessary, we may offer you a telephone consultation instead. Telephone appointments take place within a 2-hour time window, which will be confirmed in advance.
