  1. I said some time ago that pharmacists could be given further training in order to prescribe some meds that the doctors do now. For instance...chloromycetin ointment for minor eye problems and antibiotic sprays for minor ear infections etc etc. Doctors shouldn't be occupying their time with grannies bunions and snotty nosed kids. Pharmacists now are pretty well up to date with the latest meds (probably better than the GP.) 🤔. Leave the GP for more serious stuff that could be missed if appointments aren't available!! 🤔
