One of the key advantages of using our pharmacy services is the convenience—you can access treatment without needing to see your GP first. In many cases, no appointment is required, and even when one is needed, our waiting times are significantly shorter than those at most GP surgeries. This makes visiting your local high street pharmacy a quicker and easier option.

Additionally, using a pharmacy for minor health concerns helps reduce pressure on NHS services, including GP practices and A&E departments. More GPs are now referring patients to pharmacies for minor ailments, meaning you can often save yourself an unnecessary trip to the doctor by coming to us first.

Rest assured, our pharmacists are clinically trained to assess and provide treatments safely. If your condition requires further medical attention, we will refer you to a GP or A&E when necessary, ensuring you receive the right level of care. At Chiswell Pharmacy & Weight Loss Clinic, we are proud to be part of the NHS Minor Ailments Scheme and the Community Pharmacy Consultation Service (CPCS), allowing us to provide these essential treatments.
