Free health consultations

Free winter health consultations are now available at Clive’s Chemist.

The health consultations are part of the Ministry of Health’s Minor Ailments Scheme for winter. People can call in and make a time to see one of the pharmacists for trusted advice to help you to manage your condition.

Under the scheme, Clive’s Chemist can consult and prescribe treatments for pain and fever; diarrohoea, vomiting and dehydration; eye infections; skin infections, eczema or dermatitis; scabies; and head lice.

The pharmacists can provide treatment options including medicine. If the condition needs further support, they can recommend the best place for people to go for their condition.

The free Winter Health Consultations are available for: all M ori and Pacific people; all children under 14 years of age, or wh nau members of a child with similar symptoms (for example, if the pharmacist gives your child medicine for scabies and you, or brothers and sisters also have symptoms, they may give advice and medicine to all of you); and all Community Service Card (CSC) holders.

The service runs to Saturday 30

September 2023.

If people do not meet the free eligibility criteria, one of the pharmacists will be able to provide them with advice about their health condition, appropriate treatment options and let them know whether they should also see their doctor or another healthcare provider.
