also a doctor could send a prescription to a 24 hour chemist like the boots at blackburn near teh ice ring stadium as i have had prescriptions sent there late at night and have collected them
seen as lindsay works for a chemist she may have a better idea on what services are provided
ps:
get well soon to the pooly person

Found this on the website:
If you have flu-like symptoms and are concerned that you may have swine flu:
- Read up on swine flu symptoms then use the NHS Direct swine flu symptom checker
- If you are then still concerned, stay at home and call your GP
- If swine flu is confirmed, ask a healthy friend or relative to visit your GP to pick up a document entitling you to antiviral medication
- They will then need to pick the medication up at a collection point your GP will advise on (a local pharmacy or similar)
Note: If you belong to a high-risk group it is particularily important you start taking antivirals as soon as possible. High-risk groups include people with long-term conditions, those over 65, children under five and pregnant women.
