Pharmacy & Self-Care

Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines and their use, to effectively and safely manage a range of minor health concerns. They can also help you to decide whether you'll need to see a doctor. You don't need an appointment and you won't even be asked to make a purchase. Every pharmacy also has a private consultation area for you to talk about your symptoms in private if you prefer.

Urgent Appointment

For today and tomorrow (Monday to Friday). All requests to see a doctor will be assessed by a triage doctor before you are given an appointment.

When you get in touch, we’ll ask what you need help with.

We will use the information you give us to choose the most suitable doctor, nurse or health professional to help you.

  • Telephone: 01903 735200 - We triage calls all day, but please try to call before 10am. If you do not wish to wait to speak with a care navigator then there is a call back option. By pressing the * button this will maintain your position in the queue and we will call you back on the number you rang on.  Please keep your phone close by.

Important:
You will need to provide a telephone number that we can contact you on when we call. A doctor will call you back as soon as possible (we aim to call back within two hours). They will help you over the phone if possible, if not, they will book an appropriate appointment with you at the time.
