Frequently Asked Questions
How can Pharmacy First save time?
Pharmacy First will help you get seen by a healthcare professional quickly. Instead of waiting for a GP appointment, going to A&E, or attending out-of-hours NHS services, you can walk into your nearest Pharmacy and have a private consultation with one of our pharmacists whenever you need to.
What are the benefits of Pharmacy First?
Pharmacy First allows you to self-treat minor ailments and reduce the time you spend at your GP surgery. Pharmacists have a range of clinical skills and can provide accurate clinical advice without the hassle and waiting times experienced with other NHS services like A&E. If you need treatment from a GP, your pharmacist can also refer you to them.

Only patients in England are eligible for the Pharmacy First service.
Will I need to prove that I don't have to pay for my prescriptions?
If you are exempt from paying for prescriptions, you should show your pharmacists evidence of this when you speak to them. They will need it if they recommend any medicines to treat your symptoms.
What will the pharmacist ask during my consultation?
Our pharmacist will want to understand:
- The symptoms you're experiencing
- Your medical history
- If you're experiencing any other types of illness
