Help from a Pharmacist
A pharmacy is not only the place to go to get your prescription medicines, they can also offer clinical advice for minor health concerns and common illnesses. Pharmacists are often open late and at weekends and you don't need an appointment.
​
Getting advice from a local pharmacist is the best first step for a minor health concern. The pharmacist can advise you if they think you need to see a doctor (GP).

When to see your Doctor
If you have looked at the self help guidance, spoken to a pharmacist or have an illness that isn't getting better you may need to see or speak to a doctor or nurse.
Most people living in the UK are registered with a doctors surgery local to where they live. Doctors surgeries have different systems for booking appointments. To book an appointment or to find out when you can be seen you should telephone the surgery you are registered with.
You don't always need your parent or guardian to be present at an appointment if there is something you need to talk about in private. Information will only be shared if there are concerns about your safety.
