Think Pharmacy First

Think Pharmacy First is an NHS campaign encouraging people to consider their local pharmacy as the first point of contact for certain common health conditions, rather than always going to their GP.

Pharmacies can help with the below 7 common conditions:

  • sore throat
  • earache
  • sinusitis
  • shingles
  • infected insect bites
  • uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women
