Clinical advice and over-the-counter medicine
Dr Michele Legg, a GP and the clinical director for the Island for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board, said,
“Pharmacists are experts in medicines who can help you and your family with minor health concerns, offering you a fast and highly-efficient service.
“As highly qualified healthcare professionals, they can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines for a range of minor illnesses, such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble and aches and pains.
“And if they feel they are not the most appropriate professional to deal with your health concern, they are excellent at being able to signpost you to those who can.”
