Manx Care's Medical Director urges MGP visitors to consider using community pharmacies
Manx Grand Prix visitors needing help with forgotten medication or minor illnesses are being urged to use community pharmacies instead of going to the Emergency Department.
Manx Care's Executive Medical Director Dr Chris Stockport says speaking to a pharmacist or going to Ramsey's Minor Injury Unit can often be easier than attending Noble's Hospital.
Under the Minor Ailments Scheme, pharmacies can assist with conditions like coughs, constipation and exercise-related injuries.
Dr Stockport says A&E isn't always the best option:
Renal patients 'near breaking point' over lack of dialysis facilities in the north
Public Health to expand 'stop nicotine' services and accept referrals from children
Fourth candidate declares for Glenfaba and Peel
Kewaigue Hill closure comes into force this morning
