Common Ailments Scheme Wales
In Wales, accessing treatments for minor conditions has never been easier, thanks to the Common Ailments Scheme Wales. This service allows patients to receive free NHS advice and treatment for a range of everyday ailments and issues directly from their local pharmacy. The service aims to make it easier for patients to get NHS treatment without the need for a GP appointment. This makes it easier for the patient and reduces the burden on GPs so they can offer more appointments.
