All Community Pharmacies across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin can offer a wide range of professional advice and treatment for minor illnesses. Due to an agreement between community pharmacies and NHS England, an extended service has been developed that will allow certain community pharmacies to independently assess and treat some conditions that people would usually need to visit a GP practice for.

The agreement covers a variety of minor illnesses including urinary tract infections (UTIs), some skin infections, ear and eye infections.

Pharmacists are able to supply medicines to treat the conditions, or to recommend over the counter medicines. If people are exempt from paying for prescriptions, they won’t have to pay for medicines that would normally be prescribed by the GP.
