Pharmacists in Camden can now give advice and treatment (if appropriate) on a range of minor health problems.

All you have to do is register once with this scheme with one of our receptionists who will issue you with a "PASSPORT" which you then can take to your local participating pharmacy to receive treatment and advice for FREE, without waiting for an appointment. Not all pharmacists provide this service at present, a list can be obtained either from your pharmacist or doctor.

You must take the "PASSPORT" to the pharmacist every time you want advice and treatment for a minor condition from the pharmacist.

The minor aliments scheme covers a range of short term treatments which include:

Athletes Foot    Cold             Head Lice                     Mouth Ulcers     

Constipation     Cough           Indigestion                    Sore Throat

Cystitis            Diarrhoea      Insect Bites / Stings       Sprains / Strains

Earache           Fever           Minor burns / Cuts          Teething

Hay Fever / Allergic Rhinitis / Allergies                       Threadworm 

Vaginal Thrush  Verruca       Viral URTI                       Warts

The pharmacist may need to send you back to your GP if more than one treatment is necessary or if they feel you have a condition that is not covered by the scheme.

If you do NOT normally pay a prescription charge, pharmacists will be able to provide you with advice and/or medicines for minor conditions FREE.

If you normally pay for your medicines you will be charged the retail price of the medicine or prescription charge, whichever is cheaper.
