Did you know your local pharmacist can help with many common conditions without needing a GP appointment?
With the NHS Pharmacy First service, you can see a pharmacist first for issues such as:
Sore throat
Earache
Sinus pain
Urinary tract infections (women)
Infected insect bites
Impetigo & shingles
Pharmacists are highly trained healthcare professionals and can offer advice, treatment, and in some cases prescribe medication, no appointment needed!
