Expert advice for common, non-emergency health concerns, provided by our trained pharmacy team. Convenient, confidential care close to home.

About Our Minor Ailments Service

Our service is not a substitute for emergency care. If you are seriously unwell or your symptoms could be life-threatening, call 999 or attend A&E.

For common, non-emergency health concerns, Lancing Pharmacy offers convenient advice close to home. Our trained pharmacy team will listen to your symptoms, assess appropriate support, and explain treatment or referral options where suitable.

A pharmacy consultation is a useful first step for straightforward health concerns when you need advice without waiting for a routine appointment. We provide a confidential consultation and explain your next steps.

Depending on your symptoms and circumstances, the pharmacist may recommend self-care, an over-the-counter treatment, a prescription where clinically appropriate, or referral to your GP, NHS 111, urgent care, or another service.
