If you or one of the family are suffering from any of the following:
- Allergies/Hayfever
- Skin rashes/itches
- Conjunctivitis
- Insect bites or stings
- Eczema/contact dermatitis
- Athletes foot
- Threadworm
- Vaginal Thrush
- Diarrhoea
- Indigestion/heartburn
You do not need to see a GP or visit an emergency service – go along to a participating community pharmacist, provide proof that you are registered with a Herefordshire GP and you will have a consultation with the pharmacist in private who will either prescribe the appropriate medication if required, give advice on how to deal with your symptoms or if he/she feels your symptoms are serious refer you straight to a GP or the appropriate service if outside surgery hours.
There are leaflets available from the surgery – there is a list of participating pharmacies on the back – all in Hereford City offer the scheme including the ones in the supermarkets and several in the surrounding towns.
