The list of what we can treat at the Woodstock Road Chemist is extensive. We are a modern prescribing clinic that offers both NHS and private treatments covering many minor conditions. We are a private prescribing clinic, which means we can provide you with a prescription for medication that is not available on the NHS.
This list gives an example of what we treat on the NHS and what we can offer as private (paid for) treatments:
Some treatments are available on the NHS under our new Pharmacy First Service, and others may only be available as private procedures. But your pharmacist will discuss treatment options with us so you can make an informed choice.
The benefit to you is the convenience of accessing treatment without having to see your GP first. This means you often don’t have to book an appointment. And even if you do, we don’t have waiting times as many GP surgeries do. Visiting your friendly high street pharmacy is quicker and easier plus we open on Saturday mornings!
Secondly, the NHS benefits. Being able to access treatment for minor conditions through your pharmacy eases the pressure off of GPs and A&E departments. So, you don’t need to visit a GP for a cough or lower back pain or pop into A&E for paracetamol!
Thirdly, many GPs will now refer you to a pharmacy for accessing healthcare for minor ailments. So you may find you can avoid a wasted journey to your GP by coming directly to a pharmacy instead.
But don’t worry. Our pharmacists are clinically trained to provide these treatments. Plus, we know when to refer you to your GP or to A&E. This way you know that you’re in the right place to receive the treatment you need.
The Woodstock Road Chemist is able to offer these treatments because we are part of the NHS Pharmacy First Service.
