When most people think of their pharmacy, they think of prescriptions and cold and flu remedies. But your local FriendlyCare Pharmacy Ayr offers much more than that, including services that can save you time and support your health, often without needing to see a doctor at all.

Here are three services you may not know are available right here in Ayr.

‍

UTI treatment without a GP appointment

FriendlyCare Pharmacy Ayr can now assess and treat eligible patients for uncomplicated UTIs directly, thanks to expanded pharmacy prescribing services in Queensland. Our trained pharmacist will assess whether this service is appropriate for you and, where eligible, can supply the required treatment on the spot. Fast, confidential and convenient.

‍

Sick leave and carer's leave certificates

FriendlyCare Pharmacy Ayr can provide certificates for sick leave and carer's leave for eligible patients, recognised under the Fair Work Act. A practical alternative when a GP appointment is not immediately available. Speak with our pharmacist to find out if a certificate is right for your situation.

‍

NDSS: Support for people living with diabetes

FriendlyCare Pharmacy Ayr is a registered NDSS access point, giving you access to subsidised testing strips, lancets, insulin pump consumables and other diabetes management products right here in your community. Our pharmacist can also help you register for the scheme and connect you with further support.
