Seek help at the first sign of illness, before it gets worse.
Pharmacists are highly trained medical professionals – your ‘healthcare expert on the high street’.
They’re open long hours and you don’t need an appointment so it’s easy to pop in for advice.
They can help you with a wide range of winter health conditions. If necessary, they can provide prescription-only medicines for specific conditions, such as sinusitis, sore throats and earache, without you needing to see a GP first.
Learn more about the Pharmacy First service on the NHS website.
They’ll be able to tell you if you need to see a GP and can advise on the medicines you should always have in your medicine cabinet at home.
