Cowbridge Pharmacy

27/04/2026

At Cowbridge Pharmacy we offer the FREE NHS common ailments scheme and also NHS Pharmacist Independent Prescribing consultations. If your healthcare concern is of a less serious nature we may be able to help with advice & treatment. We see patients on a walk-in basis Monday - Friday from 8:30 until 6pm. We also open on Saturdays from 9am until midday.

At the Emergency Unit, colleagues are experts in emergency medicine. 🏥

This means the unit is not suitable for treating non-urgent, long-standing health conditions. If you need support for ongoing health issues, please contact your GP.

Your local community pharmacy can also provide advice and treatment for a range of common conditions under the Common Ailment Scheme.

If you are not sure whether your condition is an emergency or if your condition is urgent, but not life-threatening, please call 111.

The NHS 111 Wales call operators will advise you on the right place to get treatment for your condition - this may be the Urgent Out of Hours Service, the Minor Injuries Unit, your GP, a community pharmacy or the Emergency Unit.

To learn more about when to attend the unit, visit the website.

Catch-up clinics are being held for teenagers and young adults who have not had an important meningitis vaccination.

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is holding walk-in clinics for young people in Year 9 and up to the age of 25 who have previously missed their MenACWY vaccination appointment.

Walk-in clinics are being held every Saturday (starting March 21) until further notice at the following locations:
- Barry Hospital, Colcot Road, CF62 8YH (9am-4.30pm)
- Maelfa Wellbeing Hub, Llanedeyrn, Cardiff, CF23 9PN (9am-4.30pm)

Young people aged 13-14 (school Year 9) are invited by GPs in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan to receive this vaccine as part of their routine schedule but sometimes these appointments can get missed.

The MenACWY vaccine protects against meningococcal disease type A, C, W and Y.

While rare, meningococcal disease can be very serious and require urgent hospital treatment. It can lead to life-changing disabilities such as amputations, hearing loss, brain damage and scars.

If parents of younger children would like information about their meningitis B and pneumococcal vaccination status - both of which are given to children as part of their routine vaccination schedule up to the age of 2 - please call the vaccination service on 02921 841234 (lines open Mon-Fri 9am-4.45pm). You can also book any missed doses with your GP.
