Pharmacy First is an NHS service that enables patients to access advice and treatment for minor health problems through a community pharmacist, without needing a GP appointment.
This service allows pharmacists to provide prescription-only medications for seven specific conditions, including sinusitis, sore throats, and uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women.
Pharmacists can also offer guidance for other minor illnesses and refer patients to other healthcare providers if required.
