Pharmacy First: see our pharmacist for common conditions
For seven common conditions, you can see our pharmacist instead of waiting for a GP appointment. We'll assess you in private and, if it's right for you, we can give you NHS treatment there and then.
Conditions we can help with
Sore throat
A painful throat that came on recently.
Sinusitis
Blocked nose and pain or pressure around the face that has not cleared up.
Earache (middle ear infection)
Ear pain in children and young people.
Urine infection
Burning or stinging when you wee, or needing to go more often. Not if you're pregnant.
Shingles
A painful rash with blisters, usually on one side of the body. Come in early.
Impetigo
A skin infection that causes sores and golden crusts.
Infected insect bites
A bite or sting that has become red, hot and swollen.
Other minor illnesses
If NHS 111 or your GP practice refers you to us, we can also advise on other minor illnesses.
Some health conditions, medicines or pregnancy may mean the pharmacist needs to refer you to your GP instead. We'll explain why.
What happens
Walk in or call to book
Walk in, or call us to book a time. NHS 111 or your GP practice can also send you to us.
A private chat
Our pharmacist asks about your symptoms and health in the consultation room.
The right next step
Advice, NHS treatment if it's suitable, or a referral to your GP. We'll let your GP practice know.
