A good idea? It will free up GP appointments.

I’m sure it is a good idea.
Lots of people go to the docs with minor complaints.
The condition “uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women” is a bit vague and open to interpretation by the pharmacist and the person needing medical help.

I was thinking that myself. How will a pharmacist know if its uncomplicated or not.

I'm not the one to comment really
