As the weather gets colder and wetter, people are being urged to make the most of the pharmacy services in the borough Richmond Clinical Commissioning Group is encouraging more people to Ask Your Pharmacist as part of a nationwide initiative.

Pharmacists are able to give some medicine without GP prescriptions and those that do not pay prescription charges will still have access to medicine free of charge. This winter some pharmacists are providing flu vaccinations.

Details of which pharmacies can be on myhealth.london.nhs.
