Pharmacy First - Clinical Training Sessions Available to book now

A new Pharmacy First service which includes providing advice and NHS-funded treatment, where appropriate, for seven common conditions is due to be launched on 31st January 2024 (subject to the required IT systems being in place) as an Advanced Service.

The service involves providing consultations to give advice and NHS-funded treatment (via Patient Group Directions), where appropriate, for seven common conditions (clinical pathways consultations). The consultations can be provided to patients who self-refer to the pharmacy (e.g. walk-ins) as well as those referred by NHS 111, GPs and others.

The seven common conditions included within this service are sore throat, infected insect bites, sinusitis, shingles, earache, uncomplicated UTI in women and impetigo. PGDs will be in place to enable pharmacists to supply Prescription-Only Medicines (POMs) to treat these conditions.
