Pharmacy First
Patients can now get treatment for seven common conditions directly from their local pharmacy, without the need for a GP appointment or prescription.
Patients exempt from prescription charges will still be exempt. Pharmacy First allows community pharmacists to issue prescription only medicines, including antibiotics where clinically appropriate.
The Pharmacy First scheme was launched by the government and NHS England on 31 January 2024 to give patients quick and accessible care and ease pressure on GP services. Pharmacists will be able to treat 7 common health conditions without the need to visit a GP. Those conditions and age range are:
Age range | |
Ear infection | 1 to 17 years |
Impetigo | 1 year and over |
Infected insect bites | 1 year and over |
Shingles | 18 years and over |
Sinusitis | 12 years and over |
Sore throat | 5 years and over |
Uncomplicated urinary tract infections | Women 16-64 years |
