🦟Infected insect bite?

You can get NHS treatment for a range of common conditions at your local pharmacy, usually without an appointment.

Most pharmacies can supply prescription medicine for conditions including injected insect bites, sore throat, sinusitis, urinary tract infection (water infection), earache, impetigo and shingles (age restrictions apply).

Not only is this quicker and more convenient for you, it helps our hard working GP Practice teams.

The Met Office and UKHSA have issued a Yellow Heat-Health Alert across parts of England from 22 to 27 May 2026 ☀

While this level of alert means impacts are expected to be minor, it can still affect those who are more vulnerable – including older adults, young children, and people with underlying health conditions.

Please take simple steps to stay safe:
👉 Keep hydrated – drink plenty of fluids
👉 Avoid the midday sun where possible
👉 Keep indoor spaces cool (close blinds, open windows when cooler outside)
👉 Check in on vulnerable friends, family, and neighbours

Help to keep our communities safe during warmer weather ☀️
