About Pharmacy First
We can provide you the same treatments you would get from a GP.
The pharmacy first service is an accessible service for all, where you can receive support, advice and if necessary, medication to support you with common conditions.
How can Pharmacy First save time?
Pharmacy First will help you get seen by a healthcare professional quickly.
Instead of waiting for a GP appointment, going to A&E or attending out-of-hours NHS services, you can walk into your nearest Pharmacy and have a private consultation with one of our pharmacists whenever you need to.
What are the benefits of Pharmacy First?
Pharmacy First will allow you to self-treat minor ailments and reduce the time you spend at your GP surgery.
Pharmacists have a range of clinical skills, and they will be able to provide accurate clinical advice without the hassle and waiting times that you might experience using other NHS services like A&E.
If it turns out you need treatment from a GP, your pharmacist can also refer you to them.
Who is eligible for Pharmacy First?
Only patients in England will be eligible for the Pharmacy First service.
Will I need to prove that I don't have to pay for my prescriptions?
If you are exempt from paying for prescriptions, you should show your pharmacists evidence of this when you speak to them. They will need it if they recommend any medicines to treat your symptoms.
What will the pharmacist ask during my consultation?
Our pharmacist will want to understand:
- The symptoms you're experiencing
- Your medical history
- If you're experiencing any other types of illness.
This will help them recommend treatments and medicines that will work for you.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually caused by bacteria from poo entering the urinary tract. The bacteria enter through the tube that carries pee out of the body (urethra). Women have a shorter urethra than men. This means bacteria are more likely to reach the bladder or kidneys and cause an infection.

Brilliant pharmacy! Not only do they deliver, but they’re really helpful too. I forgot to order a recent prescription and was told they hoped to get it to me two days later - totally fine. However they somehow managed to get it to me the same day! Excellent service and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Unpleasant attitude, rude to my wife, Karen - absolutely no need for it. I'm not sure what's happened to this pharmacy, but they've gone down hill recently.
