Cowbridge Pharmacy

If you run out of your medication and your GP surgery is closed, you may be able to obtain a prescription at a pharmacy under the Emergency Medicine Supply Service. 💊

If you are unable to obtain a prescription without a delay and require your medication urgently, a community pharmacist may be able to supply you with your regular prescription-only medicines.

This service is available in emergency situations. We'd always recommend you submit a medication request with your GP practice 7 days in advance to ensure you get the medication you need, when you need it.

For more information, opening hours and to find your nearest pharmacy that offers the service, visit the NHS 111 Wales website.

If you have a urinary tract infection (also known as a UTI, Cystitis, a water infection) your local community pharmacy can help under the NHS Common Ailments Service.

If you’re female, aged 16 to 64 and think you have a UTI, a pharmacist can assess you and may be able to offer treatment.

The pharmacist will see you in a private room, assess your symptoms and provide antibiotics if they’re needed.

You don’t always need an appointment, but it’s best to call ahead to check a pharmacist is available. For more information and to see if your nearest pharmacy offers the service, visit the NHS 111 Wales website.

Please note that this service is not suitable for men, those under 16 or over 64, those with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), or women who are pregnant or have symptoms or underlying medical conditions that may indicate a more complex infection. In these cases, there are additional factors that may complicate diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is recommended that care is provided by a trained prescriber, such as a prescribing pharmacist, advanced practice nurse, or GP.

Many community pharmacists across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan are independent prescribers.

This means that you can go directly to your local pharmacy and be assessed by a prescribing pharmacist for common conditions such as ear infections, sore throats and skin conditions. The pharmacist, if appropriate, can prescribe medication without you needing to contact your GP practice.

To find Community Pharmacies offering the service near you, visit the NHS 111 Wales site, click on Services and select ‘Independent Prescribing for Common Ailments and Contraception’ in the filter column along with your postcode. This will also tell you how to check for availability as you may need to phone ahead or book an appointment online. 🔗 ⬇️
