For quick health advice, visit your local pharmacist. If you or your family become unwell, you may not always need to see a doctor or get a prescription. Your local pharmacists are clinically trained experts in medicines, managing minor illnesses and providing health and wellbeing advice. Pharmacists can help you with common problems such as coughs, colds, aches and pains. They also may offer medication advice and free consultations, perform health checks, and treat minor injuries and ailments. Some pharmacies offer extended opening hours in the evenings and at weekends, and there is no need to book an appointment – just walk in. Your local pharmacy can help you to get the help you need. For further information and advice, go to the NHS Black Country ICB website.
