- Cystitis
- Impetigo

You can pop into your local Pharmacy for a free and confidential consultation with a qualified Pharmacist without an appointment. Pharmacists can supply some medications that would normally require a prescription from a GP, without the need for you to see your GP.
The consultation with a Pharmacist is free and if the Pharmacist prescribes a medication it will be:
- free for those who are applicable for free NHS prescriptions
- no more than a normal prescription charge for those that pay for NHS prescriptions
Your local Pharmacy can also offer advice and over-the-counter medication for a number of ailments including coughs, colds, sore throats, back pain and headaches.
