The NHS Pharmacy First scheme allows pharmacists to provide patients in England with clinical advice and suitable treatments for six common health conditions, without needing to see a GP.
This new service covers conditions including:
With our online Pharmacy First Service, you can speak to one of our pharmacists, who will ask more about your symptoms and issue the best treatment. If a prescription treatment is required, you can order from our online pharmacy for delivery or we can issue a prescription for your local pharmacy.
Dear patients when you call for an appointment our reception staff will take details of your issue/problem or request. Please be advised that this information goes tot he clinical team for review, they will then contact you via SMS or patchs message to advise the next steps, depending on your initial request.
We are no longer able to facilitate patients coming up to the reception desk to book appointments on the day or hand in urine samples for testing, our staff will ask you to either contact the surgery by telephone or by patchs our eConsult service, so they can complete a triage form for the clinical team to review.
