We can now help you with seven common conditions in all our branches without needing a GP appointment.
These conditions are:
Sinusitis (adults and children aged 12 years and over)
Sore throat (adults and children aged 5 years and over)
Earache (children and young adults aged 1 year to 17 years)
Impetigo (adults and children aged 1 year and over)
Shingles (adults aged 18 years and over)
Infected insect bites (1 year and over)
Uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women (aged 16 to 64 years)
We understand how difficult it can be to book a doctors appointment and we want to make the process quick and simple to ensure you receive the treatment you need.
Step 1 – Walk into any of our branches and ask to speak to one of our pharmacists. Consultations can be provided to patients presenting to the pharmacy as well as those referred by NHS 111 and general practices.
Step 2 – Discuss your symptoms with one of our trained pharmacists and they will assess your condition.
Step 3 – Our pharmacist will advise you on the most suitable next steps based on your condition and symptoms presented. They will be able to offer advice and when needed supply NHS medicines where clinically appropriate (including some prescription-only medicines), to treat the above seven common health conditions. If our pharmacist thinks you need to see a doctor they can refer you straight away.
If you have one of the above conditions think #PharmacyFirst and visit you local J. Docter branch today!
