Local health guide
A practical guide for local residents choosing the right place to get health advice, treatment or urgent support.
Community pharmacies can help with everyday health questions, NHS prescriptions and a range of clinical services. At The Clocktower Pharmacy, visit us on Burscough Street for local face-to-face pharmacist care and advice about the most appropriate next step.
NHS Pharmacy First can provide advice and, where appropriate, treatment for certain common conditions. The pharmacist will assess your symptoms and may advise self-care, treatment, GP care or another NHS service depending on your needs.
Private pharmacist appointments are a separate, assessment-led option for selected health concerns. They do not replace NHS care or emergency services. Any advice, treatment, supply or referral depends on a pharmacist assessment and clinical suitability.
For urgent medical advice when it is not a life-threatening emergency, use NHS 111 online or call 111. They can help direct you to the most appropriate service.
GP practices provide ongoing assessment, diagnosis and care for a wide range of health needs. If your concern needs medical diagnosis, follow-up or care beyond what a pharmacy can provide, contact your registered GP practice.
For confidential sexual-health information, testing and support, use the NHS service finder to identify the appropriate current local service.
If you need urgent mental-health help, NHS 111 can direct you to local support. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.
Call 999 for life-threatening emergencies.
