Patients suffering with other conditions will not be able to access the Common Ailments
service.

They may however receive advice from the pharmacist and the option to buy
medicines over the counter.

If a pharmacist feels that the patient needs to be seen by the GP
they will refer appropriately.

For some conditions there are exclusions based on:

  • Age
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding
  • Clinical exclusions

These vary depending on the condition a summary of the main exclusion criteria can be found
on the following page. If you are unsure whether to refer to pharmacy please contact your local
