\n “They can also supply prescription-only medicines for seven common conditions, including sinusitis, sore throat and earache.”\n<\/p>\n
\n She also addressed mental health support.\n<\/p>\n
\n Dr Yule said: “If you\u2019re struggling with your mental health, you\u2019re not alone and support is there.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We have face-to-face safe spaces and a 24-hour helpline, and you can find information and advice on our Stay Well Dorset website.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Please reach out if things feel too much, help is always available.”\n<\/p>\n
\n People are advised to check what medication they have at home before placing orders.\n<\/p>\n
