Why use the Minor Ailment Scheme?
The Black Country Minor Ailment Scheme is designed to take the pressure off local GP surgeries and A&E departments by allowing pharmacists to treat "minor" (but often painful or frustrating) conditions directly.
- Clinical Expertise: Consult with a qualified pharmacist in our private, confidential clinical room.
- The Deltera Advantage: Use the Deltera platform to book your slot instantly, avoiding phone queues and long waits in-store.
- Free for Many: If you are normally exempt from NHS prescription charges, any medication recommended during your consultation is provided free of charge.
