Do I need to see a GP first?

No. You can book directly with the pharmacy. No GP appointment or referral is needed.

Should I choose in store or video call?

Video works for most conditions. Acute Otitis Media needs an in-person check, so it's in store only. If the pharmacist needs to see you in person, they'll arrange it.

What if the pharmacist can't treat me?

You'll still get advice, and if you need a GP or another service they'll refer you there.

Can I book for my child?

Yes. Add their details when you book and come with them to the appointment.

How long does it take?

Booking takes about 2 minutes, and most consultations take 10–15 minutes.

Is a pharmacy the right place?

For most people with these conditions, yes. Get help elsewhere if:

Call 999 or go to A&E if someone is seriously ill, has trouble breathing or chest pain.

Use NHS 111 if you need help urgently and are not sure where to go.
