Minor Ailments

The Minor Ailment Scheme is a specialised service, which is designed specifically to encourage you to self-treat minor ailments.

This means that there are various conditions (listed below) in which your pharmacist is trained to consult with you and, if appropriate, prescribe suitable medication or treatment.

The consultation is free of charge and you are entitled to a maximum of 2 products per condition.

This service gives you easier – and quicker – access to treatment and means that the pharmacy is your first port of call for health advice for these conditions:

Acne Vulgaris

Athlete’s Foot

Diarrhoea

Ear Wax

Groin Area Infection

Haemorrhoids

Headlice

Mouth Ulcers

Oral Thrush

Scabies

Threadworms

Vaginal Thrush

Verrucae

in all the above conditions the pharmacist may decide not to treat and refer to the G.P if required
