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,

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
Treat Yourself at the Chemist
Have You Got One of the Following Ailments?

PRICE CHANGES ON NIVEA FOR MEN - Quick shop before 9am this morning... Got caught out as the till balance fell well short of my voucher! The kindly SA just saved the txn whilst I went to top up and swap. Glad the shop was quiet!
NIVEA FOR MEN REHYDRATING MOISTURISER 75ML - £3.89 (was 5.82. Asda = 4.00)
NIVEA FOR MEN COOL KICK APD 150ML - £1.01 (was 2.03. Asda = 1.00)
I'd assume that the SILVER PROTECT APD 150ML has also dropped - recommend checking prices of all Nivea products on the web before shopping. The SELs were still showing the old higher prices.
didn't you take them back to CS for an immediate cash DTD???GRATITUDE WHEN GIVEN, PATIENCE WHEN DENIED
Please press the thanks button when someone has helped!0 -

hi,
has anyone had any issues using their 'larger' vouchers from before the T&C's have changed? I had one for £39.66 and i used it on Saturday (by giving it to my delivery driver)
I have now had a call - i think from someone in store - saying they have spoke to the fraud department and they cannot accept my voucher!
She was sooo unhelpful and very rude and she wouldnt give me the number for the fraud department only customer services who were useless!!!
Anyone had any problems???I have learnt from my in-debt days....never again!0 -
does anyone has a link to £5 off £30 please for coop? thanks0
