When it comes to those little winter healthcare worries, your local Boots pharmacy is on hand to help.
From temporary aches and pains, to sore throats and earaches, you can get easy and convenient access to advice and treatment for many minor ailments.
'We can advise you in-store and provide self care tips'
You won’t need an appointment either, as trained pharmacy teams are on hand to provide appropriate healthcare advice.
There are also over 4,000 pharmacists working in Boots stores across the UK, including Jay Patel, based at Fosse Park in Leicester.
“It’s really nice to be part of your community, and have a relationship with your customers,” Jay, 34, says.
“They usually call me by my first name when they come in. There’s no better feeling than when someone thanks you for your help.”
“Boots pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice on many common minor health concerns such as body pains, sore throats and earaches.
At this time of year, we see a lot of customers with cold and flu-like symptoms. We can advise you in-store and provide self care tips, or suggest over-the-counter products.”
“We always discuss a patient’s symptoms and what medication they’re taking, if any. Part of our clinical questioning is to make sure your issue is not something more serious.
If it is, we’ll signpost you to a GP, or if it’s something that requires immediate attention, will suggest a visit to A&E or to call 111. We always make sure we are sending patients to the right place.”
