Over the counter medicines

The NHS are always trying to use our resources responsibly and encourage patients to support us by choosing self-care and pharmacy first for the treatment of common minor health conditions.

We have developed posters and a presentation which can by used in practices and by PPGs to help spread advice on treatment of minor illnesses at home. More information and links to those documents can be found on the Over the Counter Medicines page.

More information on self care is available on the NHS website here.
