Need healthcare advice without seeing a GP? Minor Illnesses - Digital Triage

You might not need a GP appointment — your local pharmacy could help instead, and you might see someone much faster.

With the Pharmacy First service, pharmacists can offer expert advice and suggest treatments that don’t require a prescription and provide prescription-only medicines for certain conditions, without the need to see a GP or book an appointment.
