Since 31 January 2024, almost all Community Pharmacies have been offering the Pharmacy First service. This service includes the NHS Community Pharmacy Consultation service and, if needed, NHS medicines to treat seven common health conditions: - Urinary tract infection (water infection) in women aged 16-64 years - Sinusitis in those aged 12 years and over - Sore throat in those aged 5 years and over - Impetigo (a type of skin infection) in those aged over 1 year. - Shingles in those 18 years and over - Infected Insect bite in those aged over 1 year - Ear ache in children 1 -17 years (note: this cannot be provided by distance selling pharmacies) If you have symptoms that suggest any of these conditions your GP practice may refer you to this service, or you can walk into your local pharmacy and ask how they can help you.
