Your Local Pharmacy: Open When You Need Them!

Did you know your community pharmacy can help with common conditions, often without needing a GP appointment?

They’re a quick, convenient, and expert first port of call.

– Many pharmacies are open late into the evenings
– Some even open on bank holidays
– Staffed by trained professionals ready to advise, assess, and provide treatment where appropriate

Common conditions your pharmacy can support with (with age guidance):

– UTIs – non-pregnant women 16–64 years
– Shingles – 18+
– Impetigo – 1+
– Sore Throat – 5+
– Sinusitis – 12+
– Infected Insect Bites – 1+
– Earache – 1–17 years

Next time you need advice or treatment for these conditions, your pharmacy could be your fastest route to care!
