A pharmacist does not have the luxury of your medical records and although highly trained, they are not Doctors.
The same with paramedics….and nurse practitioners….they do not have the depth of training to do the job of a doctor.
I rarely go to see a doctor, but if the need arose then I would want to see someone who had all my medical history to refer to.

I actually made my Doctor and Consultants to make me aware of changes. They send you things via NHS Portal. I ring chemist and speak to the pharmacist, I make him aware of changes to my meds and treatment. Simply because they are people who you can talk to. I must have a good one. In the last 2 years he's called me on multiple occasions, aswel as emailing my doctor. He's able to contact the surgery easier. Depends who use.
