The NHS has asked GP practices to reduce the prescribing of medicines that can be bought over the counter.
Many routine hay fever treatments, including antihistamine tablets, nasal sprays and eye drops, are readily available from pharmacies, supermarkets and other retailers.
Your local pharmacist can advise on the most suitable treatment for your symptoms and, where clinically appropriate, may be able to prescribe treatment under NHS pharmacy services.
By purchasing over-the-counter treatments where appropriate, patients help the NHS make the best use of prescribing resources and reduce unnecessary costs associated with medicines that are readily available to buy.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Another very busy month for our group in May. John has now begun his mentoring shifts and brings us to 9 members
668 hours responding to the needs of Rutland and beyond.
101 patients attended
108 ( massive number) of other hours covering training, first aid cover and the Rutland Show.
Great efforts. What a team!
We attended all ages from a couple of months to 3 score years and 10 and beyond including helping one dear lady towards her centenary. All issues from not quite feeling right to cardiac arrest.

There is now an AED in Oakham Castle and Castle Cottage Cafe.
We hope it's never needed but you never know.
