Pharmacy First

Inside a pharmacy

Pharmacy First for minor illness:

Our local pharmacy, Jardines, is ready and running the Pharmacy First initiative.

They can help with a range of topics including most minor illnesses, such as coughs, colds, sickness & diarrhoea as well as the following illnesses with the Pharmacy First scheme:
 
Earache
Impetigo
Infected insect bites
Shingles
Sinusitis
Sore throat
Uncomplicated urinary tract infections
 

They are now allowed to provide antibiotics if appropriate, for certain conditions.

Our reception team and duty doctor might therefore direct you there if most appropriate.

Please see this government blog on the scheme for more information:
