Pharmacists are able to offer free advice to everyone, so please remember to use your local pharmacy for help and guidance.
If you do NOT normally pay a prescription charge, pharmacists are able to provide you with advice and/or medicines for minor conditions FREE of charge.
One of the great things about this scheme is that you do not need an appointment to see the pharmacist. You can just pop in when you need to for this confidential service, 7 days a week with participating Pharmacies (see list below)
