💊 Try Pharmacy First 💊

Did you know your local pharmacist can help with many common conditions without needing a GP appointment?

With the NHS Pharmacy First service, you can see a pharmacist first for issues such as:
✔️ Sore throat
✔️ Earache
✔️ Sinus pain
✔️ Urinary tract infections (women)
✔️ Infected insect bites
✔️ Impetigo & shingles

Pharmacists are highly trained healthcare professionals and can offer advice, treatment, and in some cases prescribe medication, no appointment needed!

👉 Please consider visiting your local pharmacy first for these conditions before booking a GP appointment. This helps you get quicker care and keeps GP appointments available for patients who need them most.

Thank you for helping us help you 💙

🦠 How Long Could My Infection Last?

Not all infections clear up quickly and many don’t need antibiotics to get better. The guide below shows the typical recovery times for common illnesses such as coughs, colds, sore throats, sinus infections and more.

⏳ If your symptoms are worsening and you’re not improving within the usual timeframes, please get in touch with the surgery.
We’re here to help you get the right care when you need it.

💧 Plenty of rest, fluids and self-care can make a big difference to your recovery.

🌡️ Feeling unwell? Here are common symptoms of everyday infections 🤒

If you’re experiencing any of the following, you may have a common viral or bacterial infection. Most will get better on their own with rest, fluids, and over-the-counter remedies, but it’s important to know what to look out for:

👀 Eyes
• Red or sticky eyes
• Burning or gritty feeling

👂👃 Ears, Nose & Throat
• Sore throat or ear pain
• Blocked or runny nose
• Swollen tonsils

🫁 Chest
• Cough
• Shortness of breath
• Green or yellow mucus

🥴 Gut
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea

If your symptoms are getting worse, or you’re worried about a child or vulnerable adult, please contact the surgery for advice. We’re here to help. ❤️

🚨 Important Information About Urine Sample Drop-Offs 🚨

We are seeing a significant increase in patients bringing urine samples to the surgery without being asked to do so. Unfortunately, this creates extra workload for our nursing team and can delay care for those who need it most.

✅ We can only accept urine samples if:
-You have been specifically asked to provide one by a GP or nurse
-You have completed the required form in the sample pack with clinical information
❌ We cannot process:
-Unrequested urine samples
-Samples without a completed form

Any samples that do not meet these requirements will be safely discarded, as we are unable to process them appropriately.

💊 Think you may have a urine infection?
Please use the Pharmacy First service as your first point of contact. Pharmacists can assess your symptoms and provide treatment where appropriate. (Eligibility criteria: women, aged 16 to 64 years. Must be systemically well, excluding pregnant individuals, urinary catheter, recurrent UTI-2 episodes in the last 6 months, or 3 episodes in the last 12 months)

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us manage our workload safely and effectively. 💙

🩺 Feeling rough with a cough or cold?

Common illnesses often last 1–2 weeks, and rest, fluids and self-care are usually all you need. Antibiotics won’t help, as colds are caused by viruses.

📈 We’ve seen a 20–25% increase in appointment requests since October, so please think Pharmacy First before contacting the GP surgery. Your local pharmacist can help with advice and treatment for many common illnesses.

💡 No need to contact us straight away.
If your symptoms last more than 10 days or get worse, then get in touch.

For more information, follow the link https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/common-cold/

Thanks for helping protect our community. Rest up and feel better soon! 💙
