Community Pharmacist Minor Ailments – Any local pharmacy

'3 Before GP'

Help combat winter pressure in general practice

Please ask yourself the following 3 questions before booking an appointment with your GP:

Can I?

• Self Care
• Use NHS Choices or similar reputable website/resource
• Seek advice/treatment via a Pharmacist

Not being able to get an appointment is frustrating for both patients and GP's, but there are a variety of alternatives to consider first and we would encourage patients with more minor illnesses to think hard about whether they need to see a GP.
