What to expect from your local Pharmacy

Your local pharmacists are experts in medicine and can give you advice about minor health problems. Their advice is free and completely confidential. They can answer questions about choosing the right medication and assist on the management of long term conditions. Most of our local pharmacies have private areas for consultations. You are able to talk to your pharmacist in confidence - even about the most personal symptoms and you don’t need an appointment.

Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA)

There are 88 pharmacies in the Heart of Birmingham which provide a wide range of services.

Last year we asked stakeholders and patients who use these servies to tell us what they think about the service pharmacists currently provide and if it meets their health needs.

The results of this consultation can be found in Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment which you can read by clicking here.

Will I be required to pay?

Many people are exempt from prescription charges. Those who are not will be charged for each item. Sometimes more than one charge may be made for certain items. You may find that some medicines are cheaper to buy over the counter without a prescription.
