Pharmacy First
Advice and treatment for common conditions — no GP appointment needed. We are an NHS Pharmacy First site.
What is Pharmacy First?
Pharmacy First is an NHS service. Our trained pharmacy team can give you clinical advice and, if suitable, supply prescription-only medicines for a range of common conditions.
Can it help with my condition?
We can help with these seven common conditions.
| Sinusitis (adults and children) | 12 years and over |
| Sore throat (adults and children) | 5 years and over |
| Earache (children) | 1 to 17 years |
| Infected insect bites (adults and children) | 1 year and over |
| Impetigo (adults and children) | 1 year and over |
| Shingles (adults) | 18 years and over |
| Uncomplicated UTI (women) | 16–64 years |
Am I eligible?
You must meet the age range for the condition above. There are other clinical criteria too — our team will check this with you in the pharmacy.
What do I do next?
Pop in to the pharmacy — no appointment needed.
Our pharmacist will ask some questions to check you're eligible.
If suitable, we can provide NHS treatment and advice on the spot.
Important: this service is for the conditions above only. If you are very unwell or unsure, you may need different medical help — see I have a health problem or call 999 in an emergency.
Eligibility criteria can change as NHS guidance is updated — see the official NHS Pharmacy First page for the most current information, or simply ask us.
