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:
'Essential' that school staff recognise the signs of an allergic reaction
'High' risk of wildfires over the next week
'Come From Away' to continue after cast member injured during rehearsal
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
