Minor Ailments Service

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.

Online Claims should be made using the NHS Sheffield CCG Online Reporting Platform.

Contractors are required to use the online platform for recording claims from the 1st August 2011.
