Pharmacists dispense your prescriptions and other medicines, offer testing and screening for common medical conditions and can advise if you have a minor illness.
They can also help you decide whether you need to see a doctor or nurse.
You can talk to your pharmacist in confidence, even about the most personal symptoms and you don't need to make an appointment.
Most pharmacies now have a private consultation area where patients can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard by other members of the public.

Our doctors work in Clinical Teams to provide continuity of care to patients.
They are supported by Team Care Coordinators who provide administrative support to the teams and are a point of contact and support for patients as well as ensuring proactive care by scheduling in activity and patient contact for the clinical teams.
All our doctors take part in our Same Day Team rota.
Each day we have at least 2 doctors forming the Same Day Team all the time between 08:00 and 18:30 and they are there to filter requests for same day appointments, provide telephone advice, provide face-to-face appointments for those who need to be seen, oversee home visit requests and deal with any patients who need an appointment soon yet are having difficulty accessing this through our system.
