The passbook allows 6 visits to your pharmacist if you are suffering from any of the minor ailments in the scheme Your pharmacist will request your evidence of registration with your GP. This can be the passbook you have received or a Repeat Prescription form. When the Pharmacist has confirmed your eligibility you will be asked questions on your symptoms and your current medication.  Important Your community pharmacy is providing treatment and/ or advice under the minor ailments scheme in line with your presenting symptoms.
