Pharmacy & Self-Care

Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines and their use, to effectively and safely manage a range of minor health concerns. They can also help you to decide whether you'll need to see a doctor. You don't need an appointment and you won't even be asked to make a purchase. Every pharmacy also has a private consultation area for you to talk about your symptoms in private if you prefer.

If you need to see a Doctor urgently on the day (Urgent meaning it is not regarding regular medication, on-going problems), please telephone the surgery on 020 8686 2070 or come in and book an emergency appointment.
