You will have a private consultation with the pharmacist prescriber in a consultation room, this will usually take between 10 and 15 minutes.

You don’t have to make an appointment but for this popular service it is best to.

Your doctor (GP) will be sent information about the advice and any prescription you have received.

Sometimes the pharmacist may need to refer you to your GP or another healthcare professional if they are unable to treat your condition.
