Minor Ailments Service – Sheffield

Service Overview

A minor ailment service allows for the management of patients with minor, self-limiting conditions by community pharmacists which could otherwise impact significantly on GP workload. The service is an integrated part of the Sheffield-wide strategy to manage unscheduled care and offers patients an opportunity to receive advice and treatment without attending a GP, Walk In Centre or A&E. The service has been extended to include a number of conditions under Cancer Survivorship. This is intended to manage side-effects following radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Claiming for payment is done by completing the claim form on PharmOutcomes.
