NHS Pharmacy First Services

Access NHS services directly through our pharmacy without needing a GP appointment

What is NHS Pharmacy First?

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.

How Can Pharmacy First Save You Time?

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.

What Are the Benefits of Using Pharmacy First at Taffs Pharmacy?

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.

Who Is Eligible for Pharmacy First?

The NHS Pharmacy First service is available to all patients in England.

Do I Need to Show Proof of Prescription Exemption?

If you are entitled to free prescriptions, please bring proof of your exemption when visiting Taffs Pharmacy. This will be required if any prescribed medicines are recommended as part of your treatment.

What Will the Pharmacist Ask During My Consultation?

During your consultation at Taffs Pharmacy, our pharmacist will ask about:

  • Your symptoms

  • Any other health concerns

This helps us provide the most suitable treatment or advice tailored to your needs.
