Pharmacy First
A new NHS service, Pharmacy First, goes live on the 31st of January 2024. The service is an extension to the self-care advice and support you’ve always been able to access from the pharmacy team and it will allow our skilled pharmacists to provide advice and, if appropriate, treatment for seven common conditions, without the need for an appointment or prescription*. These common conditions include:
·Earache
·Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) in women
·Infected insect bites and stings
No appointment is necessary, making it a convenient way to address minor health concerns without the need for a GP visit and our dedicated pharmacists can assist you in the privacy of a consultation room.
*Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria must be met before treatment can be offered
