Treating allergies in the pharmacy

NHS England has identified mild-to-moderate hay fever and allergic rhinitis conditions as suitable for self-care. As such, Clinical Commissioning Groups may advise GPs to limit their prescriptions for the condition.⁴ It is also listed in the 'Choose Pharmacy' information in Wales as a common minor illness/ailment, recommending that patients receive advice and free treatment from their pharmacist.⁵ Therefore, you may have more customers asking for your advice.
