Your local community pharmacy team can provide advice and treatment on a range of common conditions, without the need for you to see your GP.   

They can also offer over-the-counter medication, dispense prescription medicine and provide a range of advice and services to support communities to live healthier lifestyles.   

The availability of these services may differ from pharmacy to pharmacy, and in some instances, patients may be asked to wait a short while or return for an appointment timeslot to access services.   

Your local pharmacy team is here to help you, and there are a few things that you can do to help them. It is important to order your repeat prescriptions 7 days before you are due to run out, this is to ensure your pharmacy has time to prepare your medication. If you are able to, you can order your repeat prescriptions in advance by using the NHS Wales App.    

Your community pharmacy team will try to ensure you get the most appropriate treatment for your needs, please remember to treat all colleagues with respect.
