Minor Ailments Scheme

Do you know pharmacists or chemists can usually help you with the conditions below?

There is a Minor Ailments scheme in South Manchester. This means if you are supplied things by them that a prescription would usually be issued the pharmacist will issue it and no charge will apply if you have an exemption from paying for prescriptions.

If you do pay you will be charged the usual prescription price, but they may be able to supply the item off the shelf which would be cheaper than a prescription cost.
