  • Administer vaccinations – flu shots, COVID vax, MMR, Whooping cough and more
  • Prescribe antibiotics for urinary tract infections
  • Basic first aid and wound care
  • Organise and provide weekly medication packing
  • Make medicines that aren’t commercially available or have been discontinued by manufacturer eg. Creams, mixtures, pessaries, capsules
  • Medical certificates
