Hi All
With help from elaine-r (with thanks) and a bit of Googling, I found out that there is a scheme called “care at the chemist”. You register for the scheme and are then given some sort of passport (Elaine’s pink book) which then entitles you to go to a specified chemist for advice and free over the counter medication for a pre-defined list of ailments. You can sign up for this scheme if you are exempt from prescription charges - so presumably that includes us BC ladies?
Google “care at the chemist” (including the inverted commas) for more info. I don’t know if this scheme exists in all parts of the UK.
