🦟Infected insect bite?

You can get NHS treatment for a range of common conditions at your local pharmacy, usually without an appointment.

Most pharmacies can supply prescription medicine for conditions including injected insect bites, sore throat, sinusitis, urinary tract infection (water infection), earache, impetigo and shingles (age restrictions apply).

Not only is this quicker and more convenient for you, it helps our hard working GP Practice teams.
