Your questions, answered
Your questions, answered
Do I need to pay?
No. NHS funding covers the consultation. Prescription charges apply only if medication is supplied and you’re not exempt.
Can I bring my child?
Yes. The service is available for children aged 1 and over. Under-1s should see their GP.
Will antibiotics be given?
Not always. Many ear infections clear naturally. Antibiotics are prescribed only if clinically needed.
I’m over 24 – can I use this service?
Not under the NHS scheme. But our Independent Prescriber can see you privately for a fee.
What if it isn’t an ear infection?
We'll assess your symptoms carefully. If it's another condition, we'll refer you to the right healthcare service.
