Child Health – Common Conditions+

Our Child health – Common Conditions Service is available so that your child can get the help and treatment needed to alleviate their symptoms and provide them with the treatment they need for a speedy recovery.

If you are concerned about your child’s health and would like a quick face-to-face appointment for diagnosis and treatment, book an appointment at any of our pharmacy branches.

Note this service is initially available only on Thursdays at our Alwoodley branch.

  • A consultation costs £25 at any pharmacy of your choice.
  • Medications supplied at an additional cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your child has a health problem that you suspect is unlikely to go away on its own, make a convenient appointment to discuss it with one of our trained pharmacists. Book an appointment at any of our  pharmacy branches for help with a range of conditions that we can diagnose, and issue prescription treatments for. Our pharmacists can offer advice and treatment, and may be able to prescribe medicine without you needing to see a doctor.

Our pharmacist will discuss with you whether your child’s symptoms are a match for the conditions for which they can provide treatment. They may determine that the supply of some medication is appropriate (additional cost). This clinically approved supply can be carried out under what is known as a Patient Group Direction. Alternatively the pharmacist may decide that supply is not appropriate or that a referral needs to be made to another healthcare professional.

Whilst the NHS commissions pharmacies to provide a small number of clinical services, we are able to provide a much wider range on a private basis. A small fee of £25 gives you face-to-face access to our trained healthcare team to help you get the treatment you need quickly.
