Service ID

19439

Description

Patients with common self-limiting conditions are offered a consultation with a community pharmacist instead of a GP.  The pharmacists are able to prescribe a treatment from an agreed treatment protocol so that patients, who would have normally received their medicines on prescription from the GP, would now receive their treatment from the pharmacist.  Patients who are exempt from prescription charges will be able to receive treatment free of charge from the pharmacist.
