Dear Patient,

Your local pharmacy can give you advice on a range of conditions and offer treatment including prescription medicine for some conditions, without you needing to see a GP.

Conditions they can treat are:

• earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
• impetigo (aged 1 year and over) – a contagious skin infection
• infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
• shingles (aged 18 years and over)- infection that causes a painful rash
• sinusitis (aged 12 years and over) – infection of the sinuses
• sore throat (aged 5 years and over)
• urinary tract infections (UTIs) (women aged 16 to 64 years)

The pharmacist will offer you advice, treatment or refer you to a GP or another healthcare professional if needed. Pharmacies will update your GP health record.

If you are not within these age ranges, a pharmacist can still offer advice, but you may need to see a GP for treatment.
