About Your Consultation

During your walk-in consultation, the pharmacist will assess your condition before offering advice on care and treatment.

We will perform some tests to assess your condition depending on your symptoms. We may:

  • listen to your breathing using a stethoscope
  • look in your ears using an otoscope
  • check for swollen glands in your neck
    ask you about your symptoms.
  • take a swab test

We want you to feel safe and comfortable at all times. So, let your pharmacist know if you aren’t happy with specific assessments. You can also bring a friend or ask for a chaperone during your consultation.

Once the consulting pharmacist has assessed your symptoms, they will be able to offer advice and treatment, which may include prescription medication and antibiotics. Please remember, this is a private service, so a cost will be involved.
