Pharmacists can help address minor health issues such as an ear infection, UTI or an insect bite. They can offer one-on-one, confidential consultations for you and your family. More information on other minor conditions your pharmacist can help with can be found on the NHS website.

If you take prescription medication, be sure to order any repeat prescriptions in advance. It’s generally recommended to order repeat prescriptions seven days before they are needed.

If you’re planning to go away for the weekend, don’t forget to pack your prescription medicine.
