Every year, millions of patients visit their GP with minor health problems that the local pharmacist could resolve. It's estimated 50 million visits to the GP are made every year for minor ailments such as coughs and colds, mild eczema and athlete's foot. Local pharmacies are ideally placed in the community to give advice and suggest treatment options.
