Pharmacies across Swindon and Wiltshire are on hand to help people stay well this winter, with pharmacists able to offer advice on a range of illnesses and treatment options, as well as prescribe prescription medicine for a range of common health conditions.

Pharmacist Asim Iqbal, who works at Clive Parade Pharmacy in Swindon, said: “Pharmacies are a vital part of the local community. We are accessible, approachable and available to everyone.

“I would strongly encourage people to use their local pharmacy to its fullest potential this winter season, so together we can help to reduce pressure on our GP surgeries and hospitals, and support patients in accessing care closer to home.”
