If you have a cough, cold, headache or other minor ailment try treating yourself at home first. Use our NHS Health A to Z to find out how to look after yourself at home.
Your pharmacist can help too
Don’t wait for a GP appointment for coughs, colds, aches and pains. Just give your local pharmacy a call or drop in – there’s no need to make an appointment. Alternatively, ask our reception team to fill in a same-day pharmacy referral form for you, and your chosen pharmacy will call you back within 3 hours. Find out about pharmacy first.
