How it works
1. Contact Us
Walk into the pharmacy or give us a call to ask for a Pharmacy First consultation.
2. Clinical Consultation
You will have a private consultation with our pharmacist in our dedicated room. They will assess your symptoms and medical history.
3. Advice and Treatment
If the pharmacist decides that treatment is required and it is safe for you, they will either provide advice and an over-the-counter medicine, or supply a prescription-only medicine directly. If your condition requires further investigation, they will refer you to your GP or another NHS service.
Access Your Treatment Sooner
This service is fully funded by the NHS, meaning you do not pay for the consultation. If the pharmacist supplies a prescription-only medicine, the standard NHS prescription charge applies (unless you are exempt). Save yourself a phone call to your GP. For any of the seven conditions listed above, visit us today!
