Simply visit your local pharmacy. Here’s what to expect:
Information Request: The pharmacist will ask for your name, date of birth, and postcode to record the consultation.
Consultation: Discuss your symptoms with the team.
Advice and Treatment: Receive expert advice and, if necessary, medication.
Referral: If more specialised care is needed, the pharmacist may refer you to another healthcare professional, such as your GP.
Privacy: If you prefer privacy, you can request to use the consultation area or room.
Anyone registered with a GP in Scotland or residing in Scotland is eligible to use this service.
If you need a consultation but can’t come into the pharmacy, just fill in our consultation request form. We’ll arrange a phone or video consultation from your chosen pharmacy.
We won’t ask you to detail your symptoms in the form. We believe good care starts with a real conversation. A short form can miss important details. By speaking directly with a pharmacist or support staff, we can ask the right questions, understand your situation properly, and give safe, personalised advice.
If medication is needed, we make it easy to get your treatment:
Collect in person at your local branch – either yourself or someone on your behalf
Use a collection locker at participating branches for convenient pick-up
Request home delivery if you’re housebound and registered for our delivery service
