Pharmacy First
Please see below the 7 common conditions which a local pharmacist will be able to help you with and can supply a prescription for medicines without the need to visit a GP.
Every pharmacist trains for 5 years in the use of medicines and managing minor illnesses, so they are well equipped to provide health and wellbeing advice to help people stay well. They are also experienced in spotting warning signs, otherwise known as red flag symptoms, which may warrant a referral to another healthcare provider.
After a consultation with the pharmacist, the pharmacy will send a notification to the patient’s GP on the same day or on the following working day.
| Clinical pathway | Age range |
| Acute otitis media* | 1 to 17 years |
