Think Pharmacy First

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!
