Think Pharmacy First

Pharmacists can suggest treatments that do not need a prescription for a range of conditions. Most pharmacies can now also offer prescription medicine for some conditions, without you needing to see a GP or make an appointment. This is the Think Pharmacy First campaign.

Your local pharmacy can prescribe you prescription medicine for up to 7 conditions, depending on your age:

• impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
• infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
• earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
• sore throat (aged 5 years and over)
• sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)
• urinary tract infections (UTIs) (women aged 16 to 64 years)
• shingles (aged 18 years and over)

If you go to a pharmacy with one of these conditions, the pharmacist will offer you advice, treatment or refer you to a GP or other health professional if needed. They will also update your GP health record, but your information will not be shared with anyone else.

Most pharmacies can provide prescription medicine for these conditions but contact them before visiting to check.

If you are not within these age ranges, a pharmacist can still offer advice and support decisions about self care treatment with over the counter medicines, but you may need to see a GP for treatment, including for prescription medicine.

With our patients' needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. You'll find specific practice details such as our opening hours and how to register, as well as a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.

We have a text messaging service in place to remind you of your appointment at the surgery.

Please let us know your mobile phone number to benefit from this service.

If you wish to cancel your appointment, there is a facility to do this via the reminder system - respond to a reminder with CANCEL to cancel the appointment. This will hopefully free up appointments for other patients who need them.

Your prescriptions can be ordered online via our website, in the Online Services tab.

Access

There are two entrances to the building: The main entrance which can be located on the high street, and the garden/car park entrance (which is more suitable for the disabled and for prams). The car park has select spaces available for disabled patients, while they are visiting the surgery only. Fortunately, the surgery is close to a municipal car park.

One of the consultation rooms is on the first floor, but the doctors are always prepared to see patients in one of the ground floor rooms if they are unable to climb the stairs. One of the treatment rooms is on the first floor, but it has a stair-lift.  There is a toilet suitable for the disabled. Prams can be left in the porch beside the garden entrance.

Get Well, Keep Well

We’re not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and back-up staff offer a number of clinics and services to promote good health and wellbeing whatever your medical condition.

Please note that Med 3's (formerly known as sick certificates) are a non-urgent request and may take 7-10 days. These can be back-dated, but cannot be issued 'in advance', and you will need to have self-certified for 7 days before one can be issued.
