Purpose and Benefits:

If you think that you are suffering from any of the following conditions: Earache, Impetigo, Infected insect bites, Shingles, Sinusitis, Sore throat or Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), just pop into your local Pharmacy and our qualified healthcare professionals will provide a consultation free of charge. If medication is supplied, this will also be free of charge if you currently hold a valid prescription exemption.
Pharmacy First can be accessed as a walk-in service, meaning that you don’t need to book an appointment with a pharmacist to be seen.
Following a consultation, the pharmacist will provide advice and supply treatment if necessary (including antibiotics where appropriate).
