Introducing ‘Pharmacy First’
The new Pharmacy First service enables participating community pharmacists to support patients without the need to visit your GP practice. Patients suffering with any of these conditions can be treated with an appropriate antibiotic/antiviral medicine:-
* sinusitis
* sore throat
* earache
* infected insect bites
* impetigo
* shingles
* uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women
Should you be suffering with any of these conditions, you can visit any participating local pharmacy.
