Pharmacy First is an NHS-funded service that enables patients to get advice and treatment for minor health issues directly at their local pharmacy, without requiring a GP appointment.

If you are living in England, you will be able to book an appointment with your pharmacy for the following conditions:

  • Sore throat

  • Sinusitis

  • Shingles

  • Impetigo

  • UTIs

  • Infected insect bites

  • Ear infections (in-branch only)

This may differ if you are living in Scotland or Wales.
