These days the Doctors are really very busy and under a lot of pressure. It's often quite difficult to get an appointment with your GP early enough or at a time suitable to you. So to make life easier for you the National Health Service provides this service called Minor Ailments Scheme through your local Pharmacy.
Under this scheme, you can get advice and treatment from your local Pharmacy without having to wait for an appointment(which could be few days or even longer than a week in some cases).
Your Pharmacist is qualified to give you advice and offer you the right treatment. They can also dispense you any medication that is necessary. If it is for your child, it would be free. Also if you are over 60 or are exempt from paying prescription charges, then its also free for you.
Please find a list of conditions which are covered by this scheme below.
