Pharmacies

A chemist's store in the UK is known as a ‘pharmacy'. Here you can pick up medicine prescribed by

your doctor. Pharmacies also sell a range of medicines for minor ailments which you can buy without

a prescription.

You may be familiar with the red or green cross symbol at home. UK pharmacies offer similar services.

People who work in pharmacies can give you healthcare advice and will be able to help you to find out

about many medical services which are available.
