Our trained Pharmacists can prescribe prescription medicines for some conditions, without you needing to see a GP or make an appointment.
This is called Pharmacy First.
The 7 conditions are :-
Impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
Infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
Earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
Sore throat (aged 5 years and over)
Sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) (women aged 16 to 64 years)
Shingles (aged 18 years and over)
If you are not within these age ranges, a pharmacist can still offer advice and support decisions about self care treatment with over the counter medicines.
Call 0191 266 6549 for more advice or just pop into store.
NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED
