Pharmacy Minor Ailment Scheme 

The Pharmacy Minor Ailments Service is primarily designed as a “walk in” service so that patients exempt from prescription charges of all ages can access self-care advice for the treatment of minor ailments and, where appropriate, be supplied with over the counter medicines, without the requirement to attend their GP practice for an appointment and prescription. 

This scheme is available to patients exempt from prescription charges who are registered with a general practitioner in the Sandwell & West Birmingham CCG area.

Patients can access the scheme up to a maximum of 6 times in a 12-month period.

A list of the conditions covered, and the participating pharmacies can be found here
