How It Works
Come in and describe your symptoms to our team. If your condition is suitable for Pharmacy First, we’ll take you through an assessment in a private area, and either treat you there and then or, if needed, refer you on to your GP or another service for further care.
Not sure if Pharmacy First covers your symptoms? Just ask, our team can quickly tell you whether it’s the right route or whether you should see your GP instead.
