Think Pharmacy First
Pharmacy First makes it more convenient for you to access care. Your local pharmacist can give you advice on a range of conditions and can suggest medicines that can help. They may also be able to offer treatment and prescription medicine for some conditions without the need for a GP appointment.
Going to your local pharmacy offers an easy and convenient way to get clinical advice on minor health concerns – you don’t need an appointment and you can be seen in a private consultation room if you prefer.
Conditions treated as part of Pharmacy First:
- 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 throat (aged 5 years and over)
- urinary tract infections or UTIs (women aged 16 to 64 years)
