Minor Ailment Scheme
Haringey Minor Ailment Scheme
The minor ailment scheme is designed to enable people with minor health conditions to access medicines and advice they would otherwise visit their doctor for. It allows patients to see a qualified health professional at a convenient and accessible location within their community, and means patients do not need to wait for a GP appointment or queue up for a valuable A&E slot with a non-urgent condition. Ailments for children and adults that may be treated under the scheme include:
- Colds, coughs, conjunctivitis, cold sores
- Sore throat, earache, diarrhoea
- Hay fever, head lice, thrush, warts
- Teething, ring worm, nappy rash
