A doctor on a Sunday in Malta.

Pharmacies in Malta open on Sundays and public holidays by a national roster that changes every week. A prescription written on a Sunday is dispensed by whichever pharmacy is on duty, and it is still good on Monday.

Potter's Pharmacy follows the same roster. Phone +356 2136 3244 to ask whether it is open before walking over.

There is no Sunday surcharge. The €25 is the same on a public holiday as on a Tuesday morning.

1. Open the app or the website and give your name and email once. There is no password to remember.
2. Say in a line or two what is wrong. A photo often helps — a rash, a swelling, a test result.
3. Call. Dr Kevin Navarro Gera answers within minutes when he is free; otherwise you wait in line and your phone rings at your turn.
4. Anything he writes up afterwards reaches you in the app and by email, usually within minutes.
5. The €25 is settled at Potter's Pharmacy when you collect. Nothing is taken from a card during the call.

The same things a GP sees in a morning: a chest or urine infection, a rash, a migraine, food poisoning, an ear that will not clear, a repeat of something you already take.

Where the assessment supports it, the doctor writes a prescription, and any licensed Maltese pharmacy dispenses it. Where a consultation shows that someone is unfit for work or for an activity, he puts that in writing too. Both are clinical judgements reached during the consultation.

A screen is not enough for everything. A wound that needs stitching, a suspected fracture, chest pain, anything needing hands or equipment — the doctor says so during the call and sends you where you need to go.
