Pharmacies as the first place to go to for advice on minor health concerns, such as coughs, colds, tummy troubles and aches and pains.
Research shows that 27% of general practice appointments in England could potentially be treated elsewhere and approximately 18 million of these could be treated through self-care and community pharmacies. This campaign seeks to address this by highlighting to the public the minor health concerns which can be treated by our pharmacists. We also offer services such as advice on quitting smoking and how to take new medication.)
