No need to see your doctor. See a pharmacist!
You don’t need to wait to see a doctor as you can get advice and treatment from Prestwich Pharmacy. If you are registered with a GP in Bury CCG you can come straight to Prestwich Pharmacy, where you will be seen by a trained member of staff, without an appointment. You must come to Prestwich Pharmacy in person (or take the child with you if that is the patient), so a full assessment can be carried out.
Pregnant and breast-feeding woman are not eligible for Care at the Chemist.
