Other NHS Services
As well as our practice, there are many other local NHS services you can contact for health advice and information of treatment. Before you do, remember that you can treat many minor ailments such as colds, coughs and indigestion by keeping a well-stocked medicine cabinet at home.
Remember
- Keep the medicine chest in a secure, locked place out of reach of small children
- Watch expiry dates—do not keep or use medicines past their sell-by date
- Take all unwanted and out-of-date medicines back to the pharmacy
