Local pharmacists can now treat seven common conditions and even provide some prescription medicines if needed, all without having to visit your GP or get a prescription first.
These conditions include:
- Ear infections (ages 1–17 years)
- Sore throats (ages 5+ years)
- Uncomplicated UTIs (women aged 16–64 years)
- Impetigo (ages 1+ years)
- Infected insect bites (ages 1+ years)
- Shingles (ages 18+ years)
- Sinusitis (ages 12+ years)
To increase public awareness, two short videos urging Surrey residents to think ‘Pharmacy First’ have been generated and will be shared in the media shortly. For more information about Pharmacy First, please visit: https://www.surreyheartlands.org/pharmacies and How pharmacies can help – NHS
