About this service
A pharmacist can assess a number of common conditions and discuss the options with you. The assessment is a conversation: the pharmacist asks about your situation, checks whether the condition is one they are able to help with, and explains what happens next.
An assessment does not automatically lead to a prescription. If the pharmacist judges that another healthcare provider is better placed to help, they will tell you and explain why.
