NHS Pharmacy First is a service available in England that allows patients to access expert healthcare advice and, where appropriate, treatment for common conditions directly from their local pharmacy. This initiative helps patients receive prompt care without needing to see a GP, making healthcare more convenient and accessible.
At Taffs Pharmacy, we offer quick and convenient access to professional healthcare advice and treatment for minor conditions through the NHS Pharmacy First service. Instead of waiting for a GP appointment, visiting A&E, or using out-of-hours NHS services, you can walk into our pharmacy and have a private consultation with one of our experienced pharmacists—at a time that suits you.
Our Pharmacy First service allows you to manage minor health concerns easily, reducing the need for GP visits. Our highly trained pharmacists have the expertise to assess your symptoms, offer professional advice, and, if appropriate, provide treatment, including prescription-only medication. If further medical attention is required, we can refer you to a GP.
The NHS Pharmacy First service is available to all patients in England.
