❓ Myth: “I always need a GP appointment to get prescription medicines.”

✅ Reality: Under Pharmacy First, for certain minor conditions, pharmacy teams can both assess and supply treatment — no GP appointment needed.

This is especially useful in winter, when GP practices may be busier than usual.

📌 FAQs
Q: What conditions are covered?
A: Sore throat, sinusitis, earache, shingles, impetigo, infected insect bites, and uncomplicated UTIs (women 16–64).
Q: Will my GP be informed?
A: Yes — the pharmacy will send a notification to your GP either the same day or next working day.
Q: Do I still see the GP if needed?
A: Yes — if the pharmacist assesses that your symptoms need more than what the pathway allows, they’ll refer you.

This winter, for minor illness, start with your pharmacy — it’s safe, convenient, and often faster.

Winter can be tough on your lungs, especially if you have COPD.

❄ Breathe easier this winter - with three simple steps
🚭 Stop smoking – smoking damages your lungs, speeds up breathing problems, and makes your medication less effective.
💉 Get your winter vaccinations – Cold air can weaken your immune system, protect yourself from flu, RSV, and COVID-19 (if eligible).
💨 Use your inhalers the right way, every day – helping keep airways open, control symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
