New ways your pharmacist can help you
Your pharmacist can now treat you or give you medicines for seven common conditions, without you seeing a GP.
They can also help if you require oral contraception.
Think pharmacy first and get seen by your local pharmacy team.
Each condition is subject to the following age eligibility when providing prescription medicine:
UTIs (for women aged 16-64 years)
sinusitis (for those aged 12 years and over)
earache (for those aged between 1 and 17)
sore throat (for those aged 5 years and over)
shingles (for those aged over 18 years old)
impetigo (for those aged 1 year and over)
infected insect bites (for those aged 1 year and over)
