Community Pharmacist Information

Useful information about your community pharmacist

Some useful information to consider before contacting your GP about the Sheffield Minor Ailments Scheme and access to medicines that can be bought over the counter.

Sheffield Minor Ailments Scheme

Your community pharmacist is a highly trained healthcare professional who can provide expert, confidential advice on common illnesses and provide effective over the counter medicines to treat them.

The cost to the NHS of prescribing medications that can be purchased inexpensively over the counter is enormous. For that reason, paracetamol, cold remedies, muscle rubs, vitamin and mineral supplements such as vitamin D, and hay fever medication are no longer prescribed by your GP.
