If you have a minor illness, a local pharmacy should be your first stop.
Over winter, you may be more likely to need help from healthcare services. Whatever your healthcare needs, NHS Ayrshire and Arran want to make sure you receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
On the NHS Ayrshire and Arran website, you will find information on the services available this winter, and advice on how you can keep you and your family safe this winter.
Your local pharmacy can help with:
- Advice and treatment for minor illnesses and common conditions like colds, cold sores, sore throats, diarrhoea, constipation and for women, urinary infections
- repeat prescriptions
- access to free emergency contraception.
Don’t forget to check the opening times over the festive period on the NHS Ayrshire and Arran website.
