Private consultations
If your situation falls outside an NHS pathway, our pharmacist can see you privately for minor ailments and, where it is clinically appropriate, issue a private prescription.
Important
We do not supply controlled drugs privately, under any circumstances.
Private prescribing here is limited to minor ailments. Anything outside that scope will be referred to your GP or the appropriate NHS service.
