The detail
The NHS Pharmacy First service lets a community pharmacist assess and, where appropriate, treat seven specific conditions without a GP appointment. Davyhulme Pharmacy in Urmston is registered to deliver Pharmacy First and can typically see patients on the same day. The seven conditions are sinusitis (12+), sore throat (5+), earache (1 to 17), infected insect bites (1+), impetigo (1+), shingles (18+) and uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women aged 16 to 64. The consultation is free on the NHS, and if treatment is supplied it is also on the NHS for patients who would normally pay nothing for prescriptions (under-16s, over-60s, exemption holders) or at the standard NHS charge for everyone else. The pharmacist follows the same national clinical pathways as the NHS 111 / GP system, which is why patients in Urmston, Davyhulme and Flixton are increasingly skipping the GP queue entirely for these conditions.
