Under the Minor Ailments Scheme also known as ‘Think Pharmacy’ you can receive treatment from your pharmacist for minor ailments which you do not need a GP appointment for at participating pharmacies. The pharmacist can issue certain treatments under prescription and if you do not pay for your prescriptions, you will receive this treatment free of charge. If your problem is more serious and needs the attention of a GP, your pharmacist will recognise this and direct you to see your GP instead. A list of current participating pharmacies in the local area are available to view in this document: Think Pharmacy Local Pharmacy’s
Under new prescribing guidelines, we are unable to give medication to delay periods for travel or sport under prescription. We can also no longer provide a private prescription for this. If you would like to postpone your period, you can visit a pharmacy website by searching online for ‘delay period pill’, have an online counselling session with a pharmacist and order the medication privately from them.
We are unable to prescribe antibiotics for viral infections such as coughs and colds. They will not be effective and may make you more resistant to antibiotics in the future. For more information about antibiotic use please see below:

Please note: students who are living out of the area must register with a doctor at their university or university town. Students should make sure they order enough medication to last over the holidays from their own GP before coming home. We are only able to see students in the holidays as an emergency and not for issuing repeat prescriptions.
