Did you know you can now get fast, convenient help for many common illnesses at your local pharmacy through the NHS Pharmacy First service? 💊

Pharmacists can assess you and provide prescription medicines where needed — no GP appointment required.

Pharmacists can now treat and prescribe for these seven conditions:

1⃣ Earache (children 1–7) 👂
2⃣ Impetigo (adults & children 1+) 🩹
3⃣ Infected insect bites (adults & children 1+) 🦟
4⃣ Shingles (adults 18+) 🔥
5⃣ Sinusitis (adults & children 12+) 🤧
6⃣ Sore throat (adults & children 5+) 🗣️
7⃣ Urinary tract infection (women 16–64) 🚺

Your pharmacy team can also offer advice and over-the-counter treatments for coughs, colds, flu-like symptoms, chesty coughs, and many other common winter illnesses. ❄️🤒

Using your pharmacy for these conditions helps you get care more quickly. ⏱️🌟

If you’re not sure where to go, our reception team is always happy to advise.

Stay well this winter. ❄️💙
