Accessible care from your local McGreals Pharmacist – from 31st January 2026
From 31st January 2026, McGreals Pharmacies are proud to offer a new Common Conditions Service, giving you faster, easier access to professional healthcare for a range of everyday health concerns.
Thanks to recent changes in legislation and clinical guidelines, our pharmacists are now able to diagnose, treat, and, where appropriate, prescribe medication for a group of common health conditions – all without a GP visit.
This new service helps you manage symptoms earlier and more conveniently right in your community.

Book a consultation – either by calling your local McGreals Pharmacy or visiting in person.
Speak with a pharmacist in a private consultation area.
Assessment & treatment plan – the pharmacist will evaluate your symptoms and, if suitable, provide treatment or prescribe medication on-the-spot.
Ongoing support – your pharmacist will explain how to use any medicines and what to expect next.
No GP appointment is needed for these conditions, making this a faster and more convenient way to get the care you need.
If you’d like to learn more about the Common Conditions Service or check if your local McGreals Pharmacy is participating, just drop in or give us a call – we’re happy to help!
