Please help the NHS to use limited resources sensibly
Your GP, or other healthcare professional, will generally no longer give you a prescription for over the counter medicines for a range of minor health concerns. This allows resources to be utilised where it’s most needed and help improve health on.
The Lincolnshire NHS Integrated Care Board does not support the prescription of medicines and treatments for self-limiting and minor health conditions where self-care is the most appropriate route and/or medicines and treatments are available to buy over the counter.
