Pharmacy First
For several common conditions, children and adults can get antibiotics and prescription-only medications prescribed at the pharmacy after attending a consultation with a specially trained pharmacist. These accessible healthcare consultations ensure children and staff get well and back to school as quickly as possible, by removing the need to wait for a GP appointment.
The service supports infant school-aged and older children in the age groups below, as well as your staff and parents/carers, who need help with:
· Earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
· Impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
· Infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
· Sore throats (aged 5 years and over)
· Sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)
· Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women (aged 16 to 64 years)
· Shingles (aged 18 years and over)
The pharmacist will provide advice and if clinically necessary, offer an NHS medicine to treat the condition. These medicines are free of charge to children under 16 years, with the normal NHS prescription charge rules applying to people aged 16 or over. The pharmacy will then send an electronic message to the person’s GP surgery so their health record can be updated.
