Pharmacies and GP surgeries

Pharmacies

Your local pharmacist can give advice on illnesses and the medicines you need to treat them.

They can offer advice and medicines for health problems, such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble and aches and pains.

Many are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

GP surgeries

GP surgeries are usually the first contact if you have a health problem. They can treat many conditions and give health advice. They can also refer you to other NHS services.

Anyone in England can register with a GP surgery to access NHS services. It’s free to register. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
