Pharmacy services

Pharmacists are experts in medicines who can help you with minor health concerns.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues.

They can also give treatment advice about a range of common conditions including coughs, colds and flu to skin rashes.

Grab a cab

We want to make sure that routine health care is as easy to access as possible for Derbyshire residents.

That's why we're running a new scheme offering free transport to a variety of routine health appointments including vaccination appointments and some screening programmes.

The Grab a Cab scheme will run until the end of March 2023.
