Minor Ailments Treatment Service

Minor Ailments Service in Hawke’s Bay

At Care Pharmacy Hastings, the Minor Ailment Scheme has been extended into 2024, making it easier to access advice, treatment, or referral for common health concerns without needing a doctor’s appointment.

Conditions We Can Help With

Our registered pharmacists can assess and manage a range of minor conditions, including:

• Acute diarrhoea

• Dehydration

• Eye inflammation and infections

• Scabies

• Head lice

• Pain and fever

• Eczema and dermatitis

• Minor skin infections

• Uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections (females aged 16–65)

Accessible, Funded Care

The Minor Ailment Scheme is designed to improve access for people who may struggle to access or afford healthcare for minor conditions. Consultations take place in a private consultation area, where our pharmacist will assess your symptoms and decide whether funded treatment is appropriate or if referral to another healthcare provider is needed.
