Pharmacist Advice

Dated: 1-Jun-15

Your local pharmacist can:

• Give you expert advice to help prevent conditions such as a bad cough, trouble breathing, cold, or a sore throat from getting worse
• Help you manage a long term condition, if you have one
• Offer longer opening hours than your GP surgery and see you without an appointment
• Provide a consultation area to speak privately so other people can’t hear
• Tell you if you need to see your GP.

If you’re over 60 and feeling under the weather, tell your friends, family or carer as soon as possible, and get advice from your local pharmacist before it gets worse.
