The NHS has today launched their Feeling Under the Weather Campaign. This is a national public awareness campaign to encourage people, particularly older people and those with existing respiratory conditions, to seek advice early from their local pharmacist if they are feeling under the weather. Many people are not aware that they can get advice on minor ailments from their local community pharmacy service. Expert help can be provided to people for them to manage their long-term conditions or for ailments such as a bad cough, wheezing, a cold or sore throat. Many pharmacies have longer opening hours than the average GP practice, and most have a private consultation area. If people need to see a doctor, they will be advised accordingly. The campaign will run for six weeks from today. For further information please visit: nhs.uk/asap
