Your local pharmacy

Your local pharmacist can provide confidential, expert advice and treatment for a range of common illnesses and complaints. 

Some pharmacists also offer other services such as:

• Advice on stopping smoking
• Emergency contraception

When and why?

Visit your local pharmacy when you are suffering from a health problem which does not require being seen by a nurse or doctor.
