Community Pharmacist Consultation Service
Did you know that you could visit the local Pharmacist for a Minor Ailment rather than seeing a GP?
No referral needed, simply walk in and speak to the Pharmacist.
Please be mindful that the Pharmacist may not be able to see you depending on how long you have had the condition.
