How the Pharmacy First service works Community Pharmacy England
What is Pharmacy First?
Patients can now see a pharmacist first and do not need a GP appointment or a prescription to get advice and treatment for certain conditions.
It’s easy, you can just walk in!
You may also be referred by an NHS provider, like NHS 111, or your GP practice.
- Treatment may be an over-the-counter medicine or prescription medication, depending on the clinical needs of the patient.
- No appointment is needed.
- Private consultation rooms are available for confidential discussions.
- Please note: If you have prolonged or recurrent symptoms or skin discolouration, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, then you will need to contact your GP surgery.
The conditions covered are:
Earache(1 – 17 years)
Infected insect bite(1 year +)
Uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women(16 – 64 years)
