Questions
What conditions can you treat?
It depends on the pharmacist’s scope of practice. Many minor and low-risk conditions are covered. Call us first if you’d like to check before you come in.
How much does it cost?
This is a private service, not funded by the NHS: the consultation is £20, plus the cost of any medicine prescribed.
Is it confidential?
Yes. Your consultation is held in our private consultation room, to the same professional standards as any NHS appointment.
What’s an independent prescribing pharmacist?
A pharmacist with extra qualifications who can assess and prescribe for specific conditions within their professional scope.
Sinusitis, sore throat, earache, infected insect bites, impetigo, shingles and UTIs in women can be treated on the NHS. See Pharmacy First.
