Community pharmacies can offer treatment and when appropriate some
prescription medicine, for seven common conditions without patients needing to
see a GP, as part of a major transformation in the way the NHS delivers care.
Highly trained pharmacists at more than nine in ten pharmacies can now assess,
treat, and when appropriate, provide some prescription medicine for earache (for
those aged between 1 and 17), impetigo, infected insect bites, shingles, sinusitis,
sore throat, urinary tract infections (UTIs) for women aged 16-64 -without the need
for a GP appointment.
Available at the heart of local communities, community pharmacy teams have the
right clinical training to give people the health advice they need, with no
appointment necessary and private consultations available. Community
pharmacists will signpost patients to other local services where necessary.
By expanding the services community pharmacies offer, the NHS is aiming to help
free up GP appointments and give people more choice in how and where they
access care.
Don't wait for minor health concerns to get worse – think pharmacy first and get
seen by your local pharmacy team.
