Hiya do you not get care of the chemist?
Care at the Chemist


Under the ‘Care at the Chemist’ scheme, patients may obtain free over the counter medicines from 30 pharmacies in the district if they are exempt from prescription charges. Patients are registered on the scheme and given a passport to allow them to discuss with the pharmacist minor ailments such as head lice, coughs, colds and simple pain.

The pharmacist will decide if providing a medicine is appropriate. Patients have easier access to medicines, local pharmacists are used for professional advice and GP appointments can be used for patients with more serious ailments. Our local pharmacy is part of the scheme,

Click here to see a list of the ailments covered by the scheme.

You can also speak to the pharmacist if you are suffering with a minor eye infection (not applicable to children under 1 year of age) or if you are a woman suffering with cystitis (a water infection). Under this new service your pharmacist may be able to prescribe an antibiotic to treat your symptoms.

If you normally have to pay for your prescriptions, the maximum amount you would pay is the normal prescription charge, regardless of the cost of the medication the Pharmacist prescribes.

You can get medicines free of charge under these schemes if you:

• Are under 16 years of age
• Are over 65 years of age
• Hold a current prescription exemption certificate

For further details about ‘Care at the Chemist’ please ask at Garswood Pharmacy or pick up a leaflet from the surgery.

Treat Yourself at the Chemist

Have You Got One of the Following Ailments?
Allergy/Hay feverAthletes FootCold Sores Chesty Cough ColdConstipation DiarrhoeaDry Cough Head Lice Headache/Temperature Indigestion Nasal Congestion Oral Thrush Sore Throat ThreadwormsVaginal Thrush

Hi how accurate does the pricematch work on own brand items. I like the Tesco Finest pork and red onion sausages £2.58 400g.
Asda show £2.19 or 2 for £4but 520g. Any chance they might pricematch?

Many thank yous........:D

Its hit and miss if you usually buy it and are going to anyway it may work, if it does let us know for the spreadsheet

think the op is saying up here in sunny scotland brrrrrrrr we have a scheme which we dont have to have prescriptions, we simply register at the chemist and can just then pop along and get the things we need ie infact paracetamol, without the need to see a doc or wait for prescriptions the scheme was introduced to reduce patients and waiting times at the health centres

yeah we have the same here, altho you still ahve to wait ages to see a dr or even get an appointment :mad: ok i think we shud change the subject before i start ranting

That won't wok as Tesco will only go within a quantity variance of 10%.

Own brand items are quite ropey in general, a few work but far more don't!

Thanks for that......think I'm just about getting my head around all this....very time consuming but I'm worth it!!! :rotfl:

How long is the longest anyone has waited for the results of their receipts?

I went shopping on Friday night, with 2 separate lists and got my friend to do one of the shops for me.

Input both the receipts on Friday when I got home, and still nothing.

I did input the details again today, but it's still saying it's processing.

Want to go shopping tomorrow LOL!

A few people had theirs rejected on Friday as they were over the £100 limit, but it may still come through:)
