Pharmacies are more than just a place to collect medication — they are often the first point of contact for everyday health concerns. Yet, many people still don’t fully realize the range of services and support a pharmacy can offer.
At Layanson Pharmacy, our team of qualified healthcare professionals is here to help you manage minor illnesses, medication queries, and even lifestyle goals, often without the need for a GP appointment.
What Can a Pharmacist Help You With?
Pharmacists are trained to offer clinical advice and recommend over-the-counter treatments for a variety of common conditions, including:
- Coughs, colds, and sore throats
- Stomach upsets and indigestion
- Minor aches and pains
- Skin rashes and allergies
- Constipation or diarrhoea
If your symptoms suggest something more serious, a pharmacist can refer you to a GP, nurse, or other medical professional for further care.
Services You Can Access at Most Pharmacies
At Layanson Pharmacy, we provide:
- Dispensing of NHS prescriptions
- Repeat prescription services (with GP approval)
- Emergency supplies of prescribed medication (charges may apply)
- Non-prescription pain relief like paracetamol or ibuprofen

Support from Pharmacy Technicians
Our trained pharmacy team can also help you with:

Emergency Contraception and Women’s Health
Pharmacists can offer emergency contraception after a short consultation. Some pharmacies, including ours, provide this service free of charge on the NHS for women aged 16 to 24, where eligible.
We also offer discreet support and advice around contraceptive choices and women’s health concerns.

- Healthy eating and nutrition
