Pharmacy First
Our pharmacist is here to help. The NHS Pharmacy First service allows our trained pharmacist to provide advice and, where appropriate, treatment for seven conditions. You will not need to visit your GP to obtain a prescription when the service applies.
Impetigo
A pharmacist can recognise impetigo and, where appropriate, start treatment without a GP appointment.
Infected insect bite
Red, hot, or spreading bites can be reviewed in the consultation room and treated if clinically appropriate.
Shingles
Early advice matters. We check whether antiviral treatment is suitable and when you should be seen urgently.
Sinusitis
We talk through facial pain, congestion, and how long symptoms have lasted before suggesting treatment.
Sore throat
A sore throat assessment helps us decide between self-care, pharmacy treatment, or a referral.
Urinary tract infections
Eligible patients can be assessed for an uncomplicated urinary tract infection and offered treatment when the criteria are met.
Bring a form of identification if you are new to the pharmacy. The consultation is private.
