Minor Ailments Scheme: We operate a minor ailments scheme designed for patients who have a good idea of what is wrong with them and just need the medication required to get them back on the road to recovery. Talk to our pharmacists who can diagnose many minor ailments and offer advice and if necessary provide the appropriate treatment. If you are exempt from paying for your prescriptions you will receive your treatment free of charge and if you pay for your prescriptions the normal rules apply. This scheme benefits you as you get direct access to a healthcare professional, normally within a few minutes, without having to wait for an appointment with your GP. It also benefits the GP as it frees up appointments for more medically urgent cases, helping you in the long term as when you really need an appointment with your GP you won’t have to wait as long! |
