Our new NHS service means you can get clinical advice and a suitable treatment for selected common health conditions, without needing to see your GP.

    We’ll email you confirmation of your appointment, along with a video link for you to use to speak with our pharmacist about your symptoms.

  • Get your treatment

    Our pharmacist will chat to you about the most suitable treatment. They might issue a prescription medicine, or inform you about helpful treatments available from our shop.
