We proud to offer the NHS Minor Ailment Service, providing you with convenient access to expert advice and treatment for a range of common health concerns, without needing a GP appointment. This service is designed to help you manage minor illnesses quickly and effectively, right here in your local community. Our qualified pharmacists can assess your symptoms, offer guidance on self-care, and, where appropriate, supply NHS medicines to help you get back on your feet.
The Minor Ailment Service covers a variety of conditions that don’t usually require a doctor’s visit. These can include common ailments such as coughs, colds, sore throats, hay fever, indigestion, mild eczema, athlete’s foot, and many more. When you visit us with a minor health issue, our pharmacist will take the time to listen to your concerns, ask relevant questions about your symptoms and medical history, and offer tailored advice on how to manage your condition. This personalised approach ensures you receive the right care for your specific needs.
One of the key benefits of the NHS Minor Ailment Service is the ease and speed of access. Instead of waiting for a GP appointment, you can often walk into our pharmacy or call us to discuss your symptoms. If our pharmacist deems it necessary, they can provide certain NHS medicines free of charge to treat your minor ailment. This not only saves you time but also helps to free up GP appointments for more serious health issues. It’s a valuable resource for managing everyday illnesses conveniently within your local community.
