Think Pharmacy First

Most pharmacies in England are now providing the NHS Pharmacy First service which allows pharmacists to provide advice and where appropriate, supply NHS medicines for the following conditions:

▪ Earache (aged 1 to 17 years)

▪ Impetigo (aged 1 year and over)

▪ Infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)

▪ Shingles (aged 18 years and over)

▪ Sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)

▪ Sore throats (aged 5 years and over)

▪ Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women (aged 16 to 64 years)

If you have symptoms that suggest you may have one of these conditions, you can walk into a pharmacy and be offered a consultation with a pharmacist in a private consultation room. Our staff may also refer you to the service if you contact us but they believe it is appropriate for you to be seen by a pharmacist. If you have symptoms that suggest you have one of the above conditions, why not give the Pharmacy First service a try?
