Why People Choose This Service From a Pharmacy
Pharmacies provide discreet, convenient access without long waiting times. Patients value the privacy and professional advice offered in a supportive setting. It allows quick access to effective treatment with ongoing support if needed.
The Pharmacy First service builds on the NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service which has run since October 2019. The consultation service enables patients to be referred into community pharmacy for a minor illness or an urgent repeat medicine supply.
